Reims - cathedralNuntiantur haec antestiti, qui gaudio magno repletus, iussit lavacrum praeparari. Velis depictis adumbrantur plateae, eclesiae curtinis albentibus adurnantur, baptistirium conponitur, balsama difuntur, micant flagrantes odorem cerei, totumque templum baptistirii divino respergetur ab odore [...] Rex ergo prior poposcit, se a pontifeci baptizare.
