medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear listmembers,
I have just come across a reference to the following publication, which is
full of interesting references to the strange and wonderful birth legends
of weasels as found in classsical works, including conception through the
ear and birth through the mouth. For those of you whose appetite has been
whetted for further research into the BVM / weasel link, it might be worth
a look.

1998)
Happy hunting!
