corporal oath
a. corporal oath [Medieval Latin corporale juramentum; compare corporaliter jurare , also bodily adj. oath] : an oath ratified by corporally touching a sacred object, esp. the gospels, but sometimes the consecrated host, or relics of saints, and in heathen times the altar, etc., of an idol, as distinguished from a merely verbal oath, to which the body was, as it were, not a party. archaic.As the consecrated host or corpus Dei was sometimes the thing corporaliter tactum, the attributive ‘corporal’ has been held by some to refer to the host; but this is not historically tenable. See the treatment of the subject by Maskell, Monum. Rit. (1882) II. pp. li–liii; also the medieval examples in Du Cange, at Jurare, the Italian quots. in the Vocab. Della Crusca (1878) s.vv. Corporale, Corporalmente, etc.
