medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear colleagues,
given the George's encouragement following the recent interesting question on whether lists are dying, I thought I'd try the patience of the list's users with a question whose answer will no doubt be obvious to some. I am still following references to 'in specie carnis', which which you helped me greatly not long ago. A database search came up with this from Aquinas' In IV sententiarum (from the commentaries on Peter Lombard's Libri sententiarum):
Quidam enim dicunt, quod species illa carnis vel pueri est tantum in oculo videntis: et hoc forte aliquando verum est, cum ab uno videatur in specie panis, et ab alio in specie carnis vel pueri;
The time I can spend in a research library is limited so I try to do as much as I can in a few hours. I noted this down but didn't read the whole context. Is the puer referred to a vision of the christ child at the Eucharist??
Many thanks, as always
Cate
