medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Schmitt's excellent book has recently been translated into English, but I
don't have the ref.
By the way, Madalena and anyone else waiting on that strand, I'll get back
to you on the devil gesture as soon as I get time to do it properly.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Jean-Claude Schmitt's "La Raison des Gestes dans l'Occident Médiéval" is a
helpful source. See the chapter on "l'efficacité symbolique", in particular
the pages devoted to the sacramental theology and gestures. I only have the
french edition and don't know if there's any translation. This one is ed. by
Gallimard.
Best,
Madalena
