medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Having lived through a few French winters, I'd assumed
that tapestries, especially in choirs, were also for
warmth. In any case the most fabulous tapestries I've
ever seen in any church are at La Chaise-Dieu in
Auvergne, abbaye Saint-Robert. I don't have an URL for
you, but one can probably be found with a good search
engine. I also had the (probably incorrect) notion
that fabric dampened sound and would interfere with
it.
