medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture "it has often been looked upon as a Latin abbreviation or contraction, and explained by some as standing for 'Iesus Hominum Salvator,' Jesus Saviour of men, by others as 'In Hoc Signo (vinces),' in this sign (thou shalt conquer), or 'In Hac Salus, in this (cross) is salvation."
