Thanks to those who provided help. I now have another question. I am organizing a Latin reading group making use of MR James' 12 Medieval Ghost stories (and if fanyone is aware of a translation on line, I would like to know . . ) Anyway, I have hunted in the Latin dictionaries most likely to have medieval material and have been unable to come up with a definition for the verb 'conjuro' which MUST mean something related to 'conjuration', as one might conjure a spirit.Any suggestions?
