information at hand, but the image may be reproduced in Richard Landes's book
on Ademar, the cover of which contains another self-portrait of Ademar.
thanks, Michael.
i don't have the image before me, but this one sounds more like either a case
of an "author portrait" or something in the tradition of a "donor" portrait(?)
--the fellow offering the book (his own or another's), or the church, or
Suger's offering of a window.
an AlGore : close, but No Cigar.
the same thing, only different.
i'm going to get picky : A Self-Portrait of a Scribe, either in the act of
writing or clearly identified as such.
