medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There are some medieval versions of the last judgement and related subject
in my gallery at http://www.apocalyptic-theories.com/gallery/gmainframe.htm.
The Gallery focuses on depictions around the book of revelation throughout
the ages. It might also be an idea to take a look at the various mss
manuscripts of the Beatus Apocalypse. Quite a few of them exist in
facsimile.
The following site might also be of use:
http://clawww.lmu.edu/faculty/fjust/Revelation-Art.htm
And of course, there is a wonderful Anglo-Saxon Stone relief of the last
Judgement at the York Minster.
Bookwise, you might wish to take a look at the Encyclopedia of
Apocalypticism, ed. By Bernard McGinn (New York, 2000). The 2nd volume holds
among others the following articles: B.McGinn, 'The Last Judgment in
Christian Tradition' (pp. 361-401), Richard K. Emmerson, 'Apocalyptic Themes
and Imagery in Medieval and Renaissance Literature' (pp. 402-441), Linda
Seidel, 'Apocalypse and Apocalypticism in Western Medieval Art' (pp.
467-506).
McGinn's book on The Apocalypse in the Middle Ages has already been
mentioned and dedicates Part II on 'The Apocalypse in Medieval Art'.
If you could give a period, place of interest, I could try to find more
specific details.
