Cited.- p.s. "the Vindemial festival", "the Vindemial", etc., are occasionally used to render the autumnal Roman holidays feriae vindemiales. These would not be good cites for vindemial, as they refer to a more specific concept and are capitalised; but a lowercase use is seen in the quote below, which (although still referring to the same holidays) seems more generalised:
- 1960, Bernard Kuefler, The dialogue form of the" Octavius" of Minucius Felix: Its value and originality, Master's thesis, Ottawa, Canada, page 74:
- When the three friends depart for Ostia during the vindemial holidays he indirectly shows that they fulfill their jobs seriously […]
- I'm not sure if this is a good cite for vindemial.
- p.p.s. most French cites I've seen on GBooks for Vindemial seem to refer to St. Vindemial of Gafsa. 蒼鳥 fawk. tell me if i did anything wrong. 02:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
