Dear Dr. Muessig,

Since last Autumn I have been following the
ongoing queries, instructions and discussions
through MAILBASE: MEDIEVAL-RELIGION. I'm not a
member of this group; I do have a query, however,
and wonder whether you or any other member is 
able to help me solve a problem. 

A few weeks ago I have been to the Stadt Archiv
of Ulm (Germany). My interest is late medieval
polychrome sculpture, and in particular the 
formation of the eyes and their relationship, 
among other things, to polychromy.

I came across the following entry in 
V. Curt Habicht's inaugural dissertation at
Heidelberg in 1911 on the subject of 'Ulm
Münster - Plastik aus der Zeit 1391-1421',
page 46: 

    "Am Samstag nach Oculi (16.iii.)1420"

Having checked already the mailbase offerings
for the Feastday of 16th of March and found 
nothing that to my knowledge would tie in with
this particular discription, I wonder whether
you have any idea of its significance and to 
whom or what OCULI might relate here. 

Many thanks for reading my request and I am
looking forward to your reply,


                Yours sincerely

                Hannelore Hägele
