„Command that your alms be faithfully gathered and kept, nor sent from the table to the grooms, nor carried out of the hall, either at supper or dinner, by good-fornothing grooms ; but freely, discreetly, and orderly, without dispute and strife, divided among the poor, sick, and beggars.“ Robert Grosseteste: The Rules of Saint Robert. In: Walter of Henley’s Husbandry. Herausgegeben von Elizabeth Lamond. Royal Historical Society, London 1890, S. 135 (Digitalisat).
