medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
On question 1, the warriors in the Morgan Library's picture Bible are
dressed in contemporary armor; see The book of kings: art, war and the
Mirgan Library's medieval picture Bible (Walters Art Museum, 2002).
On the context, see D. Weiss, Art and Crusade in the Age of St. Louis
(Cambridge UPr, 1998).
idem, The Morgan Crusader Bible Commentary (FaksimiLe Verlag, 1999).
