medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Laura,
I'm puzzled by this usage. the most common terms I recall from the
canon law are mortuaria & funeralia.
Raymond of Pennafort says moruarta are received on the day of the burial
(Summa book I tit. de sepulturis).
I will look for an adequate definition of funeralia.
