    Sending my post-camino clothes from Lisbon to Santiago

    I know it has been a while, but do you remember at all roughly how much it cost to do this (and roughly how much your box weighed, if you remember)? I really appreciate all of the posts of people sharing information on their various experiences shipping things to SdC. For some, reason, though...

    Stamps on the Spiritual Variant

    Thank you! Didn't have any problems today, with the first part. I definitely appreciate the response.

    Stamps on the Spiritual Variant

    Buen camino! Walking from Vigo to Redondela, along the Ruta de Agua (Auga), we didn't see a single place which was open, where we could get sellos intermediarios. Is anyone able to tell/recommend us places to obtain stamps between Pontevedra and Almenteira? And between Almenteira and...

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    The tattoo was the initial impetus, but the purpose of the thread was to delve into the origins of the word/phrase, and its various spellings. I never expected it to bear so much fruit! I agree that the initial assessment of Ultreïa being a modern development, whether for aesthetics or other...

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    So: sus eia ultreia eultreya esuseya E ultreia efus eia (efus???) All within the same text (or the earliest available transcription thereof). It doesn't seem like there has ever been much of a consensus about this phrase!

    Ramallosa to Vigo

    Are you referring to the specific routes between Ramallosa and Vigo, both of which are considered part of the "Coastal" Camino? Or are you referring to the Coastal route as a whole?

    Ramallosa to Vigo

    Thank you all for your input!

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    So, if we take the sursum annotation to indicate sus is short for sursum (up, above), eia could be from the suffix -eius, specifically in the form used to indicate someone who is associated with whatever thing to which the preceding root refers. So, suseia from sursum-eia, would refer to one...

    Ramallosa to Vigo

    About to begin my first Camino, and looking over the route. Does anyone have any input on the "official" vs the more coastal route from Ramallosa to Vigo? Or, perhaps, anything you might consider "can't miss" along either route (or in either city)? Thank you, in advance!

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    Thank you for the definitive response. The point of my initial post was really to discern the origin of the use of dieresis when spelling Ultreïa. The options I assumed were Latin, French, or Old English. I appreciate the confirmation that Latin never used the dieresis. (nor trema?) It...

    Thank you for your insight!

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    Interesting! Thank you for sharing!

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    Thank you for your contribution! I found it very informative. Out of curiosity, can you attribute your personal preference to anything linguistic in particular, or is your preference more aesthetic?

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    That makes more sense. What grabbed my attention was the claim that I had seen that transcription on a website, but never in anything resembling a definitive resource, or direct transcription. So your claim that it was a direct transcription really had me interested in whether it was truly...

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    They are Germanic: Herru = lord Got/grot = good/great

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    As you mention, that adaptation refers to the printed transcription of the entire song. The one printed, in typeface, on the website. The image provided is of the original page, linked through the thumbnail at the top, and it is from that image that I provided the cropped and magnified image of...

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    I wouldn't get a tattoo of anything I can't read personally, hehe. I've heard too many stories.

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    Absolutely. If they want it straight out of the text, the third line would be "eultreya esuseya" The words got divided somewhere along the way. But yes, the Codex Calixtinus is believed to have been intentionally written in a horrific version of Latin. I would assume an amalgamation of Latin...

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    All thoughts are welcome! :) Honestly, I'm thrilled that others find the topic interesting. And, even if I don't find the origin of the Ultreïa spelling, nor find images of the other two pages containing the word, I am very pleased with the discussion (and what I've learned) thus far.

    Ultreia! Ultreya! Ultreïa!?? What's in the Codex Calixtinus?

    Is Ultreïa the common/preferred spelling among the French? Or is that an assumption? As for the Spanish: I have one cousin who prefers Ultreya, as it "feels" more Andaluz. Another prefers either of the other two, as Ultreya makes him want to pronounce it with the "j" sound attributed to the...
