medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
What a thought Brenda! Perhaps I am showing
the limitations of my expectations in assuming that a gift to executors, all
eminent Oxford men and canons of St Paul's, should be of liturgical, or at least
celebratory, significance. I think, from the comments received so far,
that the equivalent of a modern punch bowl might be the nearest thing.
But, as usual, I am concentrating too much on the minutiae and now have to cut
out all interesting detail in the article to fit it to my word
limit.
best,
Rosemary

had checked Latham and not liked the definitions there! I thought the
bishop was unlikely to leave a silver gilt ‘catch-basin (for sewage)’
Chamber
Pot ????
Silver / Silver gilt were highly prized
as being hygienic.
Everyone needed these in the days before
Harrington's little invention caught on ....
