They plundered the abbey of Holyrood at their departure, and afterwards the abbeys of Melrose and Dryburgh in their retreat, venting their rage by slaying the prior of Melrose and a few old monks who were too frail to take to flight, and carrying off a pyx from the altar after they had contemptuously thrown away the host.

[…] It is likely that, as early as the ninth century, pyxes containing the body of Christ (cum corpore Domini) were placed on the altar and used for the Communion of the sick. […] The pyx from the former Côte Collection is among the oldest and most beautiful examples.

From Middle High German bischof, from Old High German biscof, from Proto-West Germanic *biskop, from Latin episcopus.

However, in Middle High German it irregularly developed into -v- (thus predominantly bischoves rather than bischoffes). This has been ascribed to renewed Romance influence; compare Italian vescovo.


introit

PIE word
 *h₁én
From Late Middle English introite (“act of entering in or into, entrance; place of entrance”), borrowed from Anglo-Norman introït, introïte (“introit”), or from its etymon Latin introitus (“act of entering in or into, entrance; passage; place of entrance; (figuratively) beginning, introduction, prelude”), from introeō (“to enter, go in”) + -tus (suffix forming action nouns from verbs). Introeō is derived from intrō (“to enter, go into”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én (“in”)) + eō (“to go”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (“to go”)).

1833, [Nicholas] Harris Nicolas, “A Glossary of Dates; […]”, in Dionysius Lardner, editor, The Chronology of History. […] (The Cabinet Cyclopædia; XLIV), London: […] Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green, & Longman, […]; and John Taylor, […], →OCLC, page 110, column 1:

At some time during these sacerdotal preces the choir will usually have started the sung introit, the exact time for beginning the item dependent on a number of features such as the distance from sacristy to altar.

1982, Andrew Hughes, “Mass”, in Medieval Manuscripts for Mass and Office: A Guide to Their Organization and Terminology, Toronto, Ont., Buffalo, N.Y.: University of Toronto Press, published 2004, →ISBN, page 84:

The earliest unequivocal reference to the Roman introit is from the turn-of-the-eighth-century Ordo romanus I, where the chant is described in its fully developed early medieval form. Consisting of an antiphon and psalm, it is sung during the entrance of the pope at the beginning of Mass.

2000, James [W.] McKinnon, “The Introit”, in The Advent Project: The Later-seventh-century Creation of the Roman Mass Proper, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Calif., London: University of California Press, →ISBN, page 195:

Nay, where pilgrimages are not successful, they begin to canonise saints, not in honor of the saints—for they are sufficiently honored without canonisation—but in order to draw crowds and bring in money.

Since the twelfth century the pope has been the Church's sole authority for canonizing saints. But not even a pope can "make" a saint. As Pope Paul VI explained at the canonization of Julie Billiart (April 8): "We do not create, we do not confer saintliness, we recognize it, we proclaim it."

capitule

Borrowed from Late Latin capitulum (“chapter”) (diminutive of Latin caput (“head”)).

At Vespers the following is sung, after the Capitule:

1856, Martin Wilson Foye, Romish Rites, Offices, and Legends, page 202:

In the capitule, and the responsory which follows it, we recall to the memory of our Lord, in the words of his prophet — or, rather, of the Church, to whose sentiments theprophet gives expression— the fact that we are by no means strangers in his sight.

1872, Guild of st. Alban, Church work - Volume 2, page 275:

We collected ourselves, and as the man, I led; the Sister said the alternate verses, and I the capitule and the prayer, and everything that usually falls to the celebrant.

1930, Restif de La Bretonne, Havelock Ellis, Monsieur Nicolas; Or, The Human Heart Unveiled:

Finally, by evening time and the hour of the capitule, the brotherhood joined in laughing about america's taste for “turkey” and the fact that Franklin preferred the ruffled gobbler to the stately bald eagle.

2014, Benjamin W. Farley, By the Waters of Babylon: Meditations on the Psalms for the Solace and Renewal of the Soul, page 100:

(Roman Catholicism) Synonym of chapter: a reading at one of the canonical hours.
