I am curious if anyone on the List knows if other medieval individuals or
groups had the practice of picking up and taking care of discarded sacred
writings. I am trying to find out if there is a background to Francis of
Assisi's practice that he wrote about in his Testament ( and other
writings): "Whenever I come up His most holy written words in unbecoming
places, I desire to gather them up and I ask that they be collected and
placed in a suitable place." 

Thank you in advance for any responses!
