medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I'm not sure how acceptable it is but in my notes I always shorthand "died before 1289" as " <1289" and "born after 1262" as "1262>". For "Floruit" I use <> or >< as appropriate. I would think this simple and easily comprehensible. BMC ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura Jacobus To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2012 12:30 PM Subject: [M-R] dates of activity, death etc medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I feel I should know this, and have probably encountered examples of how it is done without registering the fact, but could anyone clarify if there is a standard, abbreviated way of distinguishing between the year of death, and the year in which someone is first recorded as dead? In the particular instance that's prompted me to ask, I want to refer to someone who is documented as active 1268-1287, and referred to as 'quondam' in 1289. 'd.1289' doesn't account for the possibility that he died in 1287 or 1288, and it seems clunky to spell this out in the text if there's a good abbreviated way to do it. Any suggestions?
