Vatican Information Service ...

... carries two interesting pieces preached by our Holy Father on December 8. In one he talks about "the City" with considerable penetration. In the other he speaks about Rupert of Deutz; he says that it was he that first applied the texts about the Bride of the Song of Songs to our Lady.

Presumably this means that the antiphons of Vespers of our Lady are subsequent to Rupert? Anybody out there got more on this?

Feeneyism: I looked at Vatican documents via a link on the Wikipedia article.
