Thank you for your reply. However it was someone named Jenna who is
researching the prodigal son and good samaritan at Chartres and I was
responding to her. However I am sure she will get your message as I did.
In this matter I found an ancient (1938) book today that reiterates
someone else's statement that 4 parables figured in medieval iconography
and that the prodigal son shows up at Bourges, Chartres, Sens, Poitiers
and Auxerre and "many other cathedrals and churches." Apparently these 4
were fairly popular (prod. son, Evil Rich Man, W/F Virgins, good Samar.)
