medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am trying to find out more about the iconography associated with St
Michael the Archangel in the early Middle Ages, before he became known as a
'militant' saint with usual depictions of scales, spear slaying dragon, etc.
In particular, I have come across fleeting references to his depiction with
serpents and lions.
Does anyone have any information or references that may help me in my search
for examples? They can be either references in written works or pictorial.
My particular period of interest is the 6th to 9th/10th centuries.
With thanks,
Tehmina
