[split] Sanctae Mariae Moriae
#1
I found this interesting. It's probably off the mark, but the lack of sources for "marix morix" led me to broaden my search.

If I were copying a faded text, or if my language didn't use the æ ligature (many medieval texts use a different ligature for ae, it looks like an e with a tail),  I might just misread and miscopy these words as "Marix Morix":

Obviously, this is a printed text, but the original is 12th C. This Iohannes was apparently a cardinal who subscribed (signed his support for) a papal bull in 1145. I have no idea what "Mariæ Moriæ" refers to.
