However, Durandus's pontifical has several blessings that would be appropriate for such an occasion: "De altaris consecratione que fit sine ecclesie dedicatione" (ed. Andrieu, Studi e Testi 88, p. 478-498), which would be applicable when the new relics were given their own altar. ""De benedictione capsarum pro reliquiis et alii sanctuariis conservandis" (ibid., pp. 529-531), when a reliquary was provided for the new relics. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
