medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I agree with Gordon Plumb. "Stolas" does refer to the stole given to deacons. I would also suggest that "Et postea manus unguantur de oleo et crismate" means "And then the hands are anointed with oil and chrism," I would have to see the abbreviation "Reqs." but in Cappelli's Dictionary of Abbreviations, this should mean "requirit" or "requiritur" as Marjorie Burghart suggests. It depends if there is a "t" or squiggly line above the "Req." The "retro" might mean "repeat," so it would means that the prayer is required to be said again. This is a guess though without seeing a picture. I am not sure if this is helpful but it would seen to fit with other ordination rites.
