St Boniface, tr. Kylie, 1911
Letter 24: Boniface Grants Permission to Lioba, Abbess of Bischopsheim, to Have a Certain…
To Lioba, revered handmaiden of Christ, who will be cherished with sincere love eternally, Boniface, servant of the servants of God, kind greetings in Christ.
Be it known to thee, dear holy one, that our brother and fellow priest, Torhthat by name, told us that he obtained thy consent to lay upon a certain girl for a time the task of receiving instruction, provided that our consent should be given to it. Wherefore, be assured beyond doubt, that to whatever course in this matter thou wilt adopt, for the increase of thine own reward, our will grants assent and approval.
Farewell in Christ.
