The new hypothetical reconstruction of the fragments found in the Abbey of Fossanova during works in 1990 favors a microarchitecture for liturgical use. The study argues that the fragmentary inscription, placed on the octagonal base, indicates the author’s name or the patron’s name, called himself minumus, according to a formula quoted from S. Paul and repeated by the scribes in the colophon of the medieval manuscripts. This leads us to suppose that the author or the patron was a clergyman, probably a frater (monk).

Abstract
The new hypothetical reconstruction of the fragments found in the Abbey of Fossanova during works in 1990 favors a microarchitecture for liturgical use. The study argues that the fragmentary inscription, placed on the octagonal base, indicates the author’s name or the patron’s name, called himself minumus, according to a formula quoted from S. Paul and repeated by the scribes in the colophon of the medieval manuscripts. This leads us to suppose that the author or the patron was a clergyman, probably a frater (monk).File in questo prodotto:
