medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Benedictio potus si mus aut mustella mergitur intus.
Benedic, Domine, hunc potum, et haec vasa sicut benedixisti sex ydrias
lapideas capientes metretas binas vel ternas, et vinum factum de aqua in
Chana Galileae, sic benedicere digneris cervisam istam, ut sint sani et
inmaculati omnes qui ex eo bibituri sunt, per invocationem nominis tui,
Domine, qui regnas in saecula.
Egbert's Pontifical, ed. Greenwell, p.126-7.
[I owe this reference to C.E. Hohler, "Some Service books of the Later Saxon
Church" in D. Parsons (ed.) Tenth-Century Studies: Essays in Commemoration
of the Millennium of the Council of Winchester and 'Regularis Concordia'
(Chichester, 1975), somewhat facetious discussion on pp.71-72 and 222-223.]
