Laura Hodges asked me to forward her thanks to the members of this list that answered her query about Becket's bones. Mark Allen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 07:22:41 -0600 From: LAURA HODGES <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list CHAUCER <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: query: Becket's relics Flowers--s Thanks for the suggestion about the Catholic church relics. If you have the name of the church, I'd appreciate having that. And I'll write to them about the relics. And to Brian, Sally, Arthur, Jim, David, Mark, Otfried, Tom Prendergast, Tom Izbecki, Nina, Bill, Norman, and Laurel--all of whom also responded to my original query--thanks very much for what is now quite anice list of books and articles and addresses. One additional piece of information that I've come across is another sitle [make that "site"] of some Becket relics--Sens. In Henry Shaw's _Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages_, vol. 1 (London: William Pickering, 1843) [it has unnumbered pages] there is a plate that shows a mitre and an amice worn by Becket when he was in Sens where he "attended for a short time on the pope." There is a description of these garments and where they are preserved, I noted on my notecard--but being shortsighted when I made this note more than 10 years ago, I didn't take that information down. Thanks again to everyone! Laura %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
