Subject: Кто-нибудь знает, что такое utas? gen. Контекст: "Золотая легенда" Якова Ворагинского.The day of the circumcision of our Lord there be four things that make and show it to be holy and solemn. The first is the utas of the Nativity. The second the imposition of a new name bearing health. The third the effusion of his precious blood. The fourth the signs of the circumcision. As for the first it appeareth, for the utas of saints be solemn, by much more reason ought it to be of him that is the saint of all saints. |

Webster's Dictionary defines "utas" as an obsolete Shakespearean term meaning "festivity" or "merriment" as well as an Old English legal term referring to "the eighth day after any term or feast." In this case, i.e. "the utas of the abovesaid ceremony" it would seem to appear refer simply to the festivities which were underway for the coronation. |
