I was off searching around tonight for something completely different and ran into this. It appears to be a woodcut on how to say the paternoster, printed in...
Oh, that is wonderful! I can read the fraktur on the left, but the print on the right is just a teensy bit too small... darn it! What a GREAT find, Marion!!...
No guarantees, but I'm making a copy, enlarged as much as I dare, to take to a priest friend of mine who speaks German. I'll see if I can get him to make out...
Bud, I can't wait to hear what the results are. I wonder if the smaller text is a mystery that one is supposed to be meditating on? -Marion ... From:...
I think I know someone who can do this. He lives in Belgium and is a translator, presently translating for a Cardinal. I will forward to him and possibly by...
Well, on second thought....when I looked at the links, it's pretty hard to read. A bit hard to decifer the words. Is there a more clear copy that you know...
I forwarded it to my friend. He is very busy on a project but we will see what he says. Should be great if and when the translation comes through!! kathie ...
He said that the lettering was so small and obscure that he cold catch only a few words, but that it seemed to be a brief history of the Rosary. He said he...
I haven't had much time to look over it - I can make out most of the words on the left, and the decade titles on the right. Hopefully someone has a good...
Greetings, I just wanted to let you all know about an interesting thread on one of the dye lists I'm on: We were talking about recent broadcasts of The Naked...
... What came to my mind is that often the medieval dyers, especially of the expensive eastern imported dyes, are of the Jewish faith. I wonder if there was a...
Making Jewish TziTzis and ding them IS something that must be prayed upon and performed in particular ways. A TziTzi may only be made from yarn that is spun...
well, i will state that timing things by "well known prayers" is a fairly consistant way of measuring time when you dont have a reliable watch.... several of...
Someone sent me a link to this site where they have pictures of tomb effigies from the Tudor era, and this effigy had a set of beads (rosary beads?) depicted: ...
... I have bookmarked the text and will show it to a friend who speaks and reads German and who is also interested in paternosters. I hope that between us we...
... Nice catch! That's another one for my "wearing rosary as bracelet" file. It's not at all unheard of -- I have other examples -- but you don't often see it...
I think a "pair of beads" indicates a rosary rather than jewelry. Bud ******************************* ... Nice catch! That's another one for my "wearing rosary...
... The description attached to the photo seems to be a modern one, which would suggest that the identification as a rosary came first, and the photo caption...
... St. Catherine of Siena is said to have had paternoster or rosary of knotted string to which she had attached a silver cross. She gave the silver cross to a...
... It's not something I've put a lot of time or effort into researching yet, but I've put what little I *do* know about knotted-string rosaries here: ...
In the Eastern Church, we use a Chotki (Russian) Komboskini (Greek). Like and UNlike the Rosary, some times there are dividers between the "decades" and...
... I have to admit, this made me giggle -- no disrespect intended, it just seems amusing that someone's using such an ancient timing technique for something...
Greetings! I have added a photo album entitled Medieval Paternosters including the Hoccleve portrait of Geoffrey Chaucer from his Regement of Princes, c. 1410,...
