Guenther,
Thank you for the additional information! This is very helpful to me.
I will keep your email handy for future reference.

>Pope Gregory IX. (1160 - 1241) used both greek and latin words for
> "week" and so they were generally in church Latin or vulgar Latin use:
> "Nam quum hebdomada vel septimana nequaquam ultra diem septimum
> extendatur, apparet, quia donatio, quae facta fuerat in hebdomada vel
> etiam septimana, citeriori utique tempore fuit facta quam illa, quae
> facta fuit postmodum in octavo."

> Greek: hebdomas, gen. hebdomados --> hebdomada = week
> Latin: septimana, septimanae = week, weeks
