medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The only reference I could find (at home) is in Voragine's "La Leyenda dorada", chapter CVIII. He relates them, through their martyrdom, as an example for all christians and gives reason for celebrating these saints:1)because of their martyrdom; 2)because of their symbolic character --nş7 - universal; 3)as an example of constancy and patience; 4)because they suffered for deffending Moses' law (as christians should towards the Evangelical law).
Sorry, but he makes no comparison between Eleazar and Christ.
Not to helpful...

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear listmembers:
Any of you happens to know of any text relating Eleazar's death (I Machab,
6, 43-46)
with Christ's Crucifixion? I found it in a 15th-century typological cycle
and should like to know of any doctrinal basis (in the Biblia Pauperum
edition that James Mills distributed some time ago Christ's Crucifixion is
more traditionally related to Isaac sacrifice and Moses's serpent)
Thanks in advance for any help
Carlos
