While reading Pierre Roissy's _Manuale_, I came across this sentence under the rubric "De gradibus et interiori ornatu ecclesie": "Verritur pavimentum ecclesie ut tele aranearum et alie immundicie in festis maioribus eiciantur ad notandum quod tunc forcius debemus nos mandare per confessionem." Can anyone direct me to a secondary source that discusses spiders and their webs? I'd like to see if they could have indicated a particular type of dirt or disorder. Thank you.
