; 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

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.
