medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I don't know that I have seen this recommended yet. If it has I apologize
for my amnesia in advance. I used it as an undergrad and it was just great
for non-scholarly but sound identifications: George Ferguson, Signs and
Symbols in Christian Art. It was originally written to explain the art in
the Washington National Gallery and is illustrated with paintings from that
collection, but it is far more than a guide to a particular collection. all
best, sharon
