medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hello, John. Me, again. You once sent me compendium (with delightful
illustrations) on mosaics. Do you have anything (text and pix) on the
baptistry in Florence that I could use as an introdction to it. My
Italy class will be visiting it in March. Thanks for your generous
time and efforts in our behalf. yrs, tom ault
