medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Greetings all, With apologies for cross-posting, I´m trying to find out if and how Anselm of Canterbury might have been involved with the establishment of the archdiocese of Lund. He wrote a letter of congratulations to bishop Asser, after the fact; there had apparently been some earlier correspondence, but it has not as far as I know survived. However, the only sources I control of the Scandinavian ones. Has there been any recent work done on Asser during the years 1100-1104? Even not so recent work - I´d just like to know what I need to order on inter-library loan. thanks in advance, Meg ________________________________ From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture on behalf of Rosemary Hayes-Milligan and Andrew Milligan Sent: Thu 7.8.2008 12:53 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [M-R] ?St Roch/parrain medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Yes please do change to '?Roch' keeping the '?' as we can't be sure because I did not look properly. On 'parrain', I asked if it had an earlier meaning than godfather - and yours is the only response so far. My Bishop Hill (I seem to have been living with him so long that he has become 'mine') was described in a herald's description of his funeral as 'parrain' of Henry VII. I have no evidence he was the king's godfather and a large dictionary that I consulted in the BL department of MSS said that it could also mean 'beloved'. All my online googling has come up with godparent, sponsor, etc but I was hoping that some of those who work in Medieval French might have some other ideas. it could, of course be 'parram' - which might suggest racier thoughts thank you Rosemary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marjorie Greene" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [M-R] Rosemary's photographs of Corsica/parrain medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Rosemary, Do you want me to change "Theophile" to "Roch"? I must have missed a post about "parrain." It's French for "godfather" or "sponsor" as a million people must have told you.
