medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A colleague (not a medievalist) has asked me about the origins of the "gift
of tears"--both the phrase and the concept. I am familiar with the phrase
and idea from various late-medieval sources, but can anyone help me with a
more definitive answer to the question? Are there books or articles on
this subject?
Thanks,
Tom Luongo
