medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Sherry,
I need the Dominican office for Dominic's feast in August. I am trying to determine whether the office includes in the readings the healing of Reginald of Orleans by the Virgin Mary. According to the vitae of Dominic and Jordan of Saxony, Mary revealed the future Dominican habit to Reginald and she anointed him, healing his illness. I am curious whether this got into the offices all Dominicans would know.

Dear Tom,


The particular selections chosen would have varied a lot, depending on which breviary or lectionary of saints was being used. If you're just interested in the *Dominican* lessons for Dominic's office, finding those should be pretty easy because the OP had one official breviary and kept a tight rein on revisions. I'm at home today and don't have the reference at hand, but could look it up for you later this week when I'm in the library,


The official Franciscan and Roman version(s) of the lessons should also be relatively few in number and easy to find. English secular breviaries, on the other hand, tended to shorten and rewrite the lessons quite freely, so their lessons can vary enormously even if they all originally stemmed from the same text. And the surviving English monastic sources are even more unpredictable (though they're perhaps unlikely to have lessons for Dominic at all).  I know a lot less about lectionaries of saints in other parts of Europe, but suspect that other regions and locales probably had their own textual traditions as well. 


For whatever it's worth . . .

Dear colleagues,
I am looking for the biographical readings at Matins for the feast of Saint Dominic. Thus far I only find secondary references which do not provide text for those readings (lessons 1 through 6).
