medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I feel I have to believe in her, having been named after her (I was due to be born on 25th November, but arrived a bit early on 20th). I didn't know at the time that she was famous for arguing with the philosophers, but I studied philosophy at university and have been known to be argumentative. If I'd been born on 22nd and named Cecilia, would I have been able to sing?
