medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Dear Matt,
This happens to be a topic that I am also working with. In addition to
the articles mentioned previously, you may also want to consider:
Richar Trexler, "Der Heiligen neue Kleider. Eine analytische Skizze
zur Be- und Entkleidung von Statuen," in Gepeinigt, begehrt, vergessen:
Symbolik und Sozialbezug des Korpers im spaten Mittelalter und der
fruhen Neuzeit, ed. Klaus Schreiner and Norbert Schnitzler (Munich:
Fink, 1992), p. 365-402.
(I'm not sure if this is the same article already mentioned in
French).
Also discussing the idea of clothing the statues of saints spiritually:
Thomas Lentes, "Dei Gewander der Heiligen: Ein Diskussionsbeitrag zum
Verhaltnis von Gebet, Bild und Imagination," in Hagiographie und Kunst:
der Heiligenkult in Schrift, Bild und Architektur, ed. Gottfried
Kerscher (Berlin: Reimer, 1993), p. 120-151.
