medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture LOL Henk Van: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Namens Revd Gordon Plumb Verzonden: zaterdag 14 februari 2009 17:15 Aan: [log in to unmask] Onderwerp: Re: [M-R] Blessings on wine medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture In a message dated 14/02/2009 12:36:05 GMT Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Christopher Hohler was of the opinion that the effects of the allowance of three gallons of beer a day were to be detected in manuscripts of the 'reform' period. [C.E. Hohler, "Some Service Books of the Later Saxon Church", pp. 60-83 in D. Parsons (ed) Tenth-Century Studies: Essays in Commemoration of the Millennium of the Council of Winchester and 'Regularis Concordia (Chichester: Phillimore, 1975).] Hohler's reference for the beer allowance is the Abingdon Chronicle, ed. J. Stevenson, Rolls Series 1858, v.1, p.346 & v.2, p.279. So THAT was the cause of the "Tremulous Hand of Worcester"!!!
