medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Greetings all, I've just been reading a fascination and detailed book, Andrew D Brown, Popular Piety in Late Medieval England. The Diocese of Salisbury 1250-1550. Clarendon Press, Oxford. 1995 In it I found the references below, and I am wondering how typical they are? Does anyone know of examples (or articles about!) lives of saints being owned by or read in parish churches (indeed, any information about the ownership and reading of saints' lives would be of interest.) Language of publication is not an issue. Thanks in advance, Meg In 1474/5 the churchwardens of St. Edmunds paid 17 d for the story of St Osmund on parchment; in 1479/80 and 1495/6 further payments were made for St Osmund's feast and story. p. 63 the parishioners of Wimborne Minster bought a new "legend" for their cherished St Cuthberga. p. 234 ________________________________ From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture on behalf of Volker Schier Sent: Sun 5/6/2012 13:07 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [M-R] Symposium Books Changing Hands in Wolfenbüttel medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear colleagues, The Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel is hosting the interdisciplinary symposium Books Changing Hands, June 20-22, 2012, organized by Volker Schier and Corine Schleif.
