medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
According to Francesco Lanzoni, "Il sogno presago della madre incinta nella
letteratura medievale e antica." Analecta Bollandiana 45 (l927): 225 - 261,
quite a few of the elements of pregnant women's premonitory dreams are drawn
from oriental legends.

Subject: [M-R] Christianization of Eastern motifs
> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

> Dear listmembers,

> Do you have any quick suggestions of studies on the christianization of
Eastern (islamic or other, non-religion specific) motifs, which have
migrated into European medieval culture, especially popular culture and
religiosity? For example, figures of demonic or supernatural beings (peris,
jinnies, etc) and how they "translate" into demons and devils in the
European West? These should have come into European popular culture with the
diffusion of Eastern tales or through other channels.
