medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
You could try G. B. Ladner 'The gestures of prayer in papal iconography of
the 13th and 14th centuries' Didascaliae. Studies in Hon. of anselm M
Albareda (NY 1961) 245-275 for a not-wholly convincing explanation of the
origins of the gesture you describe.
Also R.C. Trexler 'The Christian at prayer. An illustrated prayer manual
attibuted to Peter the Chanter (d.1197)' Medieval and Ren tests and Studies
36 (NY 1985)
I think Peter Brown has written something on the 'de modo orandi' of St.
Dominic, but can't find the reference. You'll find it and other stuff in
William Hood,'Fra Angelico at San Marco'.... slightly later, I know, but I'm
pretty sure there will be relevant things there.
