Megan,
Any lead helps. Thanks very much.
Patrick.

>>Dear colleagues,

>>There have been several studies of the customaries of monastic houses in
>>the tenth through the twelfth centuries that try, with varying success, to
>>reconstruct how the divine office was celebrated, and in particular how
>>long each hour and its attendant extra psalms and prayers took, with
>>suggestions that Cluniac monks (for example) were in choir 26 hours a day,
>>or that (a la Leclercq) different groups of monks from the same monastery
>>performed different parts of the office in different monastic chapels
>>simultaneously.
>>
>>My question is - has anyone done similar studies for houses of canons,
>>secular or regular, in the same period?
