Sorry to continue the subject after the original problem was
solved! However, I just wanted to mention that the rings in
*Beowulf* were, if I am not mistaken, ARM rings, not finger
rings, classic rewards for Germanic warriors. Please correct
me if I am wrong!

There is discussion around this issue in Jaroslav Pelikan's *The Spirit of
Eastern Christendom (600-1700)* which is the 2 volume of his *The Christian
Tradition*. The whole of chapter 4 deals with the issue (set in the context of
the widening gulf between East and West), but pp 165-67 touches on the issue.
Pelikan doesn't used the term but does quote from several sources which use
analogousterms (5 senses of the body are necessary, but sight (i.e. Rome) is
the most important.

I was amused by David Schaps mailing as I must say that my understanding
that the Pope was precisely an example of someone NOT primus inter pares.
In the Anglican church the senior Bishop of each church is often referred to
as the Primate (ie Canterbury is Primate of the English Church )
One Archbishop of Canterbury is said to have begun an anglican meetin with the
phrase "Fellow primates".......
The Anglican church in Scotland call its presiding Bishop "The Primus"
is this an abbreviation?
The Catholic Archbishop of Armagh has the title Primate of All Ireland
Does any of this help?
(possibly the Catholic Archbishop of Armagh is Primus inter Pares for Irish
Bishops, with the Pope then having no equal.)
