Crux Imperatorum Philosophia
Imperial Horizons of the Cluniac Confraternitas, 964-1109 By Robert G. Heath Edited by Jean or Dikran Hadidian
Author - Robert G. Heath
Editor - Jean or Dikran Hadidian
"All Souls Day follows directly on All Saints Day, the one triumphant, the other penitential. And it is Heath's great merit to show that Cluny was the fountainhead of the feasts of All Souls - meaning literally 'all' souls. He emphasizes especially the vast proportions of the network of confraternal prayers, remembrances, and masses for the dead which, under imperial sponsorship and Cluny's direction, developed prodigiously throughout the entire eleventh century."
