ubique terrarum_ ... et intelligit festivitates præcipuas, _dies
Dominicos_, et alios dies festivos."--Lyndwood, _Prov._, p. 21., not. e., ed. Oxon. 1679. Though Lyndwood himself, as I understand him, seems to doubt the cardinal's statement, that the payment could be _enforced_, unless sanctioned by local custom. Ducange, in v. "Denarius," 8vo. ed., Adel. 1774, says, the "Denarius de Palmâ" and "Denarius Dominicalis" were the same: "Habebit (vicarius) cum eis victum suum competentem, et ad vestes sibi emendas XL. solidos Andegavenses, et _Denarium singulis diebus Dominicis ecclesiasticâ consuetudine offerendum_." On this extract from a charter he observes: "Erat itaque _Denarius de Palmâ_, ille qui singulis Diebus Dominicis et [lege à] fidelibus offerrebatur. Cur autem dictus 'de Palmâ' non constat, nisi forte sic dictus fuerit quod in manum seu _palmam_ traderetur." _Denarius Dominicalis_, idem.--Arest. MS. a. 1407. It would seem also from his definition to be the same as the payment called "Denaria Sacramentorum," that is: "iidem denarii qui _singulis offerrebantur Dominicis_, ideoque Sacramentorum dicti, quod tempore Sacrosancti Missæ Sacrificii, pro excellentiâ interdum nudè appellati Sacramentum, a fidelibus offerrentur."--_Annal. Bened._, t. iv. p. 466., n. 80. ad annum 1045. |
