medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Richard,
I'm not sure if you mean my posting was OK or if you
think I should send the review to the List. The latter
is a really bad idea - the review is very long and
some listmembers have limited space. As for my
posting, my head has grown back and I don't mind
having it chopped off again ;-)))
