medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear all,
On this sculpture, I can recommend the following article:
Kenaan-Kedar, N., & Kedar, B.Z., ‘The Significance of a Twelfth-Century
Sculptural Group: Le Retour du Croisé’, Dei gesta per Francos: Crusade
Studies in Honour of Jean Richard, ed. M. Balard, B.Z. Kedar, J.S.C.
Riley-Smith (Aldershot, 2001), pp. 29-44.
Regards,
William Purkis
