medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Thanks. Sounds like I may have to go for the horribly clunky 'altar-team'. Have been toying with 'altar-triad' but it conjures up images of medieval Chinese mafiosi. 'Chapel' according to SOD includes the choir, and I need a term that's restricted to priest, (sub-)deacon and server, as that's how they are described in the relevant documents. Feel free to keep those suggestions coming! all best Laura On 26 February 2013 22:28, John Briggs <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > Actually, it was standard terminology to refer to the *whole team* of > clerics (including the choir) as the "chapel" (household chapel, > chapel royal.) > > In architectural terms, it is easier in French: "La Chapelle Royale" > was the building, "La Chapelle du Roi" were the personnel. > > John Briggs > > On 26/02/2013, Laura Jacobus <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > > > Ha!
