Note 173-* — CONCLUDING CHAPTER.
Reading edition
Durandus, in his description of a church, makes no mention of screen-work, but observes, “Notandum est quod triplex genus veli suspenditur in ecclesia videlicet quod sacra operit, quod sanctuarium a clero dividit, et quod clerum a populo secernit;” evidently alluding in the latter to the curtain extended across the chancel arch.
