medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Esteemed list,
I wonder if any of you know of sources for or studies on the so-called Epistle of St
Saviour, a text supposedly vouchsafed to Pope Leo by an angel and sent by him to
Charlemagne. Undoubtedly dating from much later in the Middle Ages, it
communicated various inscriptions which were considered to have apotropaic power
when recited or used on various forms of amulets, or even just carried about on
one's person.
Many thanks in advance.
Jim Bugslag
