medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Doctissimi,
All the great photo URLs for the Magi reminded me of a lovely little
tympanum in Pontaubert (Yonne) depicting the Virgin Enthroned with the Magi
in attendance. The church is a former Templar church and was directly across
the road from our hotel. I neglected to take photos, this being long before
the days of digital cameras and a time when one zealously meted out film
that might be needed down the road for something IMPORTANT.
I wrote to the director of the Yonne website with little expectation of a
response, much less such an ample one. Here's what I got. If you're
Frenchly-challenged, click on the second link* and you'll go right to the
picture; it's in the upper left. The kind webmaster also inserted the photo
directly into my mail but I know that's not allowed on the list:
Le Ministère de la Culture a créé une base mémoire appelée Base Mérimée qui
regroupe tout ce qui est classé « Monument historique » en France.
Cette base est consultable sur internet à l’adresse suivante :
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/documentation/merimee/accueil.htm
Il y a bien sûr un moteur de recherches interne : en tapant « pontaubert »,
je suis arrivé sur le page suivante :
*
http://www.culture.gouv.fr/public/mistral/memoire_fr?ACTION=CHERCHER&FIELD_5=LBASE&VALUE_5=PA00113787
Tout en bas de page vous avez accès aux renseignements concernant l’église
et le tympan du portail de la vierge et l’enfant ainsi qu’à une image
miniature, que vous pouvez agrandir en cliquant dessus.
Vous en trouverez une copie ci-dessous et le fichier correspondant est en
pièce jointe.
La photo est en noir et blanc mais elle est de bonne qualité.
