Summary: | In my mercy dispaire thou noght, Sen I the so dere haue boght, And ensaumple thou take Of synfull Mary maudelayne, That with syn was gastly slayne And sythen gan it for-sake. Monseigneur Duchesne's study of the legend of the coming of Saint Mary Magdalen to Gaul left very little to be said on the subject.' Jean Misrahi has opened with this statement a brief note followed by an unpublished version of an early legend of Mary Magdalen and this can indeed be applied mutatis mutandis to many areas of the Magdalen traditions. Still, other features connected with this cult are insufficiently investigated and this is true, in the first place, of the rich and extensive group of medieval Latin hymns celebrating Mary Magdalen. |
