Medieval Studies Newsletter: Florilegium

A newsletter for the Medieval Studies Program at the University of Victoria. "Florilegium" being the same word as "Anthology" but using Latin, not Greek, roots. Hence, a literary bouquet. [Consult OED for further details.]

On the tenth day of Christmas the MSCU gave to me...


... ten commandments commanding,
nine churches standing,
eight men a-monking,
seven students MSCU-ing,
six movies a-playing,
five MAN-U-SCRIPTS,
four French kings,
three books of Dante,
two feuding popes,
and Dr Kwakkel in a library.
