medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture The reason that chapels were immediately attached to infirmary wards in Hotels-Dieu in the later Middle Ages was so that the bed-ridden patients could at the very least hear the masses and hours celebrated there. I've been wondering just how to imagine their "participation". For many of them, it must have been enough just to be aware that it was happening.

I believe lectio should be translated as reading. To translate lectio as lesson may already indicate a particular interpretation. The simple meaning of lectio is reading and this translation leaves open a number of options as to how those who heard/attended/participated in the liturgy may have experienced the service in question. For some it may have been a lesson (teaching) they heard, but for others it may have been an invitation to performative transformation. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe 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: unsubscribe 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/medieval-religion ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe 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: unsubscribe 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/medieval-religion
