medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Let me ask a question that I should really know the answer to.

A service performed during the night within the monastic tradition of the early Church. *See* Matins<http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/18072> . cecilia On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 8:52 PM, John Briggs <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > John Dillon wrote: > >> >> Today (20.
