Well, actually Rorate Caeli is the famous blog... it comes up in uppercase letters on the tabs, with the fancy "Æ" which I can rarely be bothered to find in the character map.
Rorate Coeli is the less well-known blog on Wordpress, written by Michael Skaggs of Indiana.
I know the words are from the Introit to the Mass for the Fourth Sunday in Advent... however, not being a Latin scholar, I have no idea why one blog has "caeli" and another "coeli" - any suggestions?
Either way, remember to visit them both!
"ae" and "oe" before I-II cen. were diphtong, it mean, that 2 sounds consisted one syllabus. Later they became monophtong [ae], and difference was in the writing.
ReplyDeleteWhen appear tendention to write "ae" always, I don't know. Not long away...
Just commenting so that you know I too have the same question...
ReplyDelete...though being on a Mac, I can type œ æ to my heart's content...
God bless. Have a safe trip!
Mac,
