Record Number: 22639 Author(s)/Creator(s): Barcellona , Rossana Contributor(s): Title: Le vedove cristiane tra i Padri e le norme [In fifth and sixth century Gaul, widows were set apart by some clergy with a ceremony similar to the veiling of virgins. Widows might be indigent or members of the highest social groups with ascetic impulses. The Fathers of the Church created a theology of widowhood, much of it addressed to widows they knew. A growing body of ecclesiastical regulations gradually marginalized an actual order of widows. Title note supplied by Feminae.] Source: Annuarium Historiae Conciliorum 35, ( 2003): Pages 167 - 185.
