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
