Chapter XI
134, 13. Tendens ad sidera palmas. Virgil, Æn. i. 93.
135, 18. Anniversary obit of the Abbot Robert. According to the Liber Albus, fol. 35, the anniversary of Abbot Robert was “xvi Kal. Octobris” (16th September). The anniversaries of Ording and Hugh, mentioned in line 20, were 31st January and the 16th November.
139, 20. Chapel of St. Denis. This chapel was at the west end of the church, probably north of the great western tower, with a chapel dedicated to St. Faith above it. Abbot Baldwin, who commenced the erection of the basilica, was a monk of St. Denis; hence, no doubt, the dedication of a chapel to that saint.
