Talk:Castrum doloris

1
The term is in regular use, at least in scholarly articles. I changed the typo baldachimes to the correct spelling. References abound on the web.

[Castrum Doloris of Emperor Rudolf II] in the Cathedral of St Vitus, Prague.

[Castrum Dolris of Pope Sixtus V] referenced in a scholarly article.

It seems clear that the entry wasn't just vanity. Lee-Anne 04:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

A castrum, by the way, also refers to a castle, or anything resembling a castle, which is, strictly speaking, a diminutive variation of the same word. Lee-Anne 04:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

"Pope Sixtus V's funeral arrangements included a castrum doloris in the mid 14th Century..." This is indisputably wrong. Pope Sixtus V died on August 27, 1590. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.107.59.41 (talk) 18:17, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
