Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

Deacons and their stoles in the Ambrosian Rite


The Liturgical Arts Journal has another interesting post from Shawn Tribe about the Ambrosian Rite. This time he explains and illustrates the Ambrosian practice of the Deacon wearing his stole over the dalmatic rather than under it. He also demonstrates how this has preserved what was, in the first millennium, probably the universal practice.
