_Annus Trabeationis_.--I am sure that you will allow me to correct an
oversight in your reply to a query of "G.P.," in No. 7. p. 105. You have
attributed to Du Cange a sentence in the Benedictine addition to his
explanation of the term _Trabeatio_. (_Glossar_. tom. vi. col. 1158.
Venet. 1740.) This word certainly signifies the Incarnation of Christ,
an not his Crucifixion. Besides the occurrence of "trabea carnis
indutus," at the commencement of a sermon on S. Stephen by S. Fulgentius
Ruspensis, I have just now met with the expressions, "trabea carnis
velatus," and "carnis trabea amicti," in a copy of the _editio princeps_
of the Latin version of Damascen's books in defence of Image-worship, by
Godefridus Tilmannus, fol. 30 b. 39 a, 4to. Paris, 1555.
