Re liturgical terms:
The communicants imbibed the consecrated wine through a gold
or silver tube or reed known by a variety of names such as fistula, pipa, or
calamus. Probably a straw like instrument (A Dictionary of Liturgy and
Worship, J.G. Davies, ed., p. 127). We have one in our sacristy for the sick;
it's gold (or gold plated), about three inches long, with a little fan-like
protuberance on the side for gripping the instrument.
The strainer is the passoire, used to strain
extraneous matters from the wine, either before consecration or before
communicating. . See the article in the Dictionnaire d'archeologie
chretienne et de liturgie 13: 2266.
A plenarium is a book of formulae and texts, containing all
matters pertaining to one subject. It could be a plenarium (or plenarius) of
requiem texts, or gospels, or church rents. (Catholic Encyclopedia 12:
164).
Hope this is useful.
