medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Hi all, A friend sent me this fragment about monk's dress as he knows I am interested in medieval clerical costume. He has more text than this, but does not know where he got it from. Does anybody on the list know? And if there is an English or other translation in a modern language of said book? Many thanks, Henk Liber tramitis aevi Odilonis Abbatis Vestitus fratrum mensuram hanc serva tuorum (de) vestimentis fratrum mittit sanctus Benedictus in providentia abbatis, ut sint mensurata. Qualis autem sit illa mensura secundum patrum diffinitionem, quantum possumus indagamus: Cuculla quae nostro singulariter convenit ordini quod vestimentum antiquitus vocabatur colobium, id est tunica sine manicis, tantum debet habere latitudinis, ut ambobus convenienter abtetur cubitis, longitudinis vero tantum antea, quod ad collum pedis usque pertingat, et sit apta corpori, ut sit ex omni parte rotunda. Capellum ipsius praeter lymbum integrum virilis pedis ex omni parte quadratam debet continere mensuram. Apertura superior habeat cubitum usque ad pollicis summum, inferior cubitum integrum et trium digitorum in ante appareat latitudo cuculle capitio. -- Mijn Postvak In wordt beschermd door SPAMfighter. 2573 spam-mails zijn er tot op heden geblokkeerd.
