medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am finishing my last (I hope) episcopal biography
for ODNB. Thomas Kemp, bishop of London, left his executors silver
gilt 'crater's, standing and not, with 'their' covers. I assume
they are dishes of some kind but can anyone be more precise? All these
chaps were priests, so might they be liturgical vessels of some kind? Or
are they just table ware?
By the way, I sent a report of my Brussels trip
into the ether but do not seem to have received it myself. Did it come to
the list or are you all waiting with bated breath for my reports of the delights
of late gothic churches and frites with mayonnaise?
Best wishes
