medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear One and All,
Thank you for the wonderful images and the good suggestions. I will probably
make all the images available to my students, because they are so cool, but
for the assignment am trying to decide between Agatha and Foy. The class is on
medieval material culture (a senior seminar). My idea was to have them look at
a saint's life, an appropriate reliquary, and a lapidary. There is the
obligatory theory-type-article as well and have them put together the
significance of the objects on the reliquary. Since St. Foy has jewels, she's
a likely candidate. I still have a week before we meet for the first time.
Thank you again,
Kit
