medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Cate-- The Summula (1240) of Bishop Walter de Cantilupe contains a very similar section (37, "The Articles of Faith"). (This Summula is printed in Councils and Synods attributed to Peter Quinel in 1287; J. Goering and D. Taylor published an article about them in Speculum 67, no. 3 (July 1992): 576-94.) Either there is a common source or one is based on the other. Maybe this will help us date Edmund's work? I would guess there is no continental precedent. One possible English source might be in a work of William of Montibus (J. Goering's monograph gives descriptions and incipits of all his works). At the least he includes the seven sacraments as the twelfth article of faith in his Numerale. For a better answer, you might email Dr. Goering (at the University of Toronto). Let me know what you discover, especially about the date of Edmund's work. --Jonathan On 26 Mar 2008, at 10:16 AM, TJP EVERITT wrote: > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and > culture > > Dear colleagues > > Edmund of Abingdon has a chapter 'de duodecim articulis fidei' in > his _Speculum Religiosorum_ which consists of five articles of > faith based on the creed and the seven sacraments.
