i *think* that is an article by the distinguished art historian Christopher
*Hohler* of the Courtauld Institute in a deceptively simple looking book
called "The Shell", published under the auspices of the oil co. of the same
name.
quite a good article, if i remember rightly, recommended to me by one of his
students, Alan Borg, one of my professors;
i just wish i could remember what the hell he said in it.
will answer most questions about the St. James/scallop connection, though
won't give us a clue about how Jim Bugslag happened to find one on the
way there.
better to be lucky than smart, as my pappie used to say.
best from here,
christopher
