; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; BENEDICTINE PROPER -- a DELIBERATELY PARTIAL example, and the reason why is ; the most useful thing in this file. ; ; SOURCE. Ordo Divini Officii ... juxta Ritum Romano-Monasticum et ; Consuetudines Abbatiae Sancti Benedicti in Monte Nursiae, pro anno 2026 ; (the Monks of Norcia). ; ; WHY IT IS SHORT: THE MONASTIC RITE DOES NOT USE THE ROMAN RANKS. ; The ordo's own vocabulary, counted across the whole document: ; ; I cl. 86 III cl. 0 ; II cl. 43 IV cl. 0 ; Semidup. 103 Dup. ~96 ; ; It uses the 1960 class system at the TOP -- I and II class -- and the older ; monastic Duplex / Semiduplex grades BELOW, exactly where the Roman calendar ; has III and IV class. colitur's rank vocabulary is Class1..Class4. So a ; Benedictine feast graded "Dup." or "Semidup." CANNOT BE FAITHFULLY ; EXPRESSED here at all. This is not a gap in the data; it is a mismatch of ; vocabularies between two related rites. ; ; Rather than invent a Dup. -> Class3 mapping the source never states, this ; file ships ONLY the entries whose class the ordo gives in Roman terms and ; whose row could be read unambiguously. Everything else is listed at the ; bottom as excluded, by name, so the omission is visible rather than silent. ; ; TWO FURTHER LIMITS, both worth knowing before reusing this: ; 1. It is "et Consuetudines Abbatiae" -- Norcia's own customs, not the ; generic Benedictine calendar. Another house's proper will differ. ; 2. It is a 2026 ordo, one year, not a perpetual calendar. Any transferred ; or movable entry in it reflects that year's outcome, not the rule. The ; two entries below are fixed-date and unaffected. ; ; NOT AUTHORITATIVE. colitur's test layers assert things about the SHIPPED ; universal calendar and cannot vouch for this file (see colitur-overlay(5)). ; ; colitur convert benedictine.ini > benedictine.sexp ; colitur check benedictine.sexp ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [overlay] id = benedictine-nursia ; "21 SAB. Alb. | ! | IN TRANSITU S.P.N. BENEDICTI ... Dup. I cl." ; The death of Our Holy Father Benedict, 21 March. I class in the monastic ; calendar; in the Roman calendar 21 March is St Benedict at III class, so ; this deliberately OVERRIDES the universal entry by naming a distinct slug on ; the same date -- both will be candidates, and the I-class one wins. [transitus-of-our-holy-father-benedict] date = 03-21 rank = class-1 colour = white name.la = In Transitu S.P.N. Benedicti Abbatis name.en = The Passing of Our Holy Father Benedict, Abbot ; "15 ... S. MAURI ABB. (O.N.) | Dup. II cl." ; (O.N.) = Ordinis Nostri, "of our Order" -- the ordo's own marker for a ; proper feast of the Order. 39 entries carry it; this is the only one whose ; class is given in Roman terms AND whose row reads unambiguously. [maurus-abbot] date = 01-15 rank = class-2 colour = white name.la = S. Mauri Abbatis name.en = St Maurus, Abbot ; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; EXCLUDED, and why. Each of these is a real feast of the Order, present in ; the ordo and marked (O.N.) or equivalent. None is written above, because its ; grade is Duplex or Semiduplex -- which this format cannot express -- or ; because its row could not be read unambiguously from the ordo's two-column ; layout, and a guessed date is worse than an absent one. ; ; Omnium Sanctorum O.N. (13 Nov) Dup. -- All Saints of the Order ; S. Scholasticae V. (10 Feb) row unclear ; Ss. Placidi & Sociorum Mm. (5 Oct) row unclear ; S. Anselmi Ep. C. D. (21 Apr) Dup. ; S. Bernardi Abb. D. (20 Aug) Dup. ; S. Gertrudis Magnae V. (17 Nov) (m.t.v.) ; S. Silvestri Abb. (26 Nov) Dup. ; and ~20 further (O.N.) entries: Bede, Hildegard, Boniface, Frances of ; Rome, John Gualbert, Peter Damian, Leo IV, Robert, Bernard Ptolomei, ; Gregory VII, Augustine of Canterbury, and others. ; ; To use them, you need either a rank vocabulary colitur does not have, or a ; deliberate decision -- yours, documented -- about how Duplex and Semiduplex ; map onto class-3 and class-4. This file does not make that decision for you. ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
