Brepols has an online collection of databases (Brepolis), one of which is the Database of Latin Dictionaries, in which you can simultaneously search a number of Latin dictionaries (antiquity, patristics, medieval: including Forcellini, Lewis&Short, Blaise, DuCange, Stelten and others – but not Niermeyer). However, your library needs to have a subscription. You can find more information here: http://www.brepols.net/publishers/pdf/Brepolis_Cluster_LATIN_EN.pdf

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks Paul.  A salutary reminder that it gets too easy to rely on my home copy of Niermeyer Minor.  It serves me well for most things but I really should have trooped off to a library and looked at a few more dictionaries before asking the list,  Still dictionaries don't come up with such stimulating and  valued opinions as does this list, and I've found all comments helpful.

Thanks again

Laura

Laura, here are the entries for your key words from Albert Blaise, Dictionnaire latin-français des auteurs chrétiens (Strasbourg: Le Latin chrétien, 1954; repr. Brepols, 1993:


remedium, -ii, n., 1. secours : Evgipp. Vit. p. 47, 6 — 2. remède (pr. et fig., cl.) : (spir.) uerbi caelestis r., Ambr. Luc. 5,18; de munere temporali fiat nobis r. sempiternum, Sacram.

(spir.) le salut de l'âme, le salut éternel : ut et ipsi salutem consequantur, 2 Tim. 2, 10; Rom. 13, 11; (paenitentia est) hominis saluti, Tert. Paen. 2; Pud. 19; s. aeterna, Cypr.

Most of Blaise's examples are probably earlier than you want, though he is useful enough for patristic usage. As for cultus and officia, FWIW I think I would translate "worship", and "offices" or "services", distinguishing between the general and the particular. -- Paul

Many thanks for all these suggestions.  I too had been inclined to think of 'remedium' as referring to those already in purgatory, but the idea of a two-stage process towards salvation hadn't occurred to me.  Forgive me if I'm wrong, but all of you sound as if you're guessing (no slur intended, especially as that's all I'm doing myself)- but if you have a medieval parallel or source in mind please do let me know.  Otherwise I'll just go for a translation that leaves both possibilities open.

No-one took me up on the possible distinctions between 'divine cult' and 'divine office'.... any offers?

Laura
