medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Many thanks, Cyprian. Having small Latin, I'm a bit confused about the verbs here: "convocat" seems to be present, while "rogavit" is perfect. If anyone can straighten me out, I'd be grateful. My attempted translation is: Herod calls the kings to him without delay, and asked them much about the one recently born." Any improvements gladly accepted.
