medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
measuring to saints?
Dear list members
I have always understood that the practise of "measuring"
someone to a saint while praying for that someone to be cured was a
specifically English custom (as described by Finucane in Miracles
and Pilgrims). I'm now curious as to whether anyone has ever
encountered it in a continental context ?
