medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There are probably more obvious or richer things, but for a start you
could try:
Thomas's Catena Aurea on the last part of John, in Latin here
http://www.corpusthomisticum.org/cjo12.html
(and obviously Newman's translation is often in libraries).
Thomas's own commentary on John 18-19, here
http://www.corpusthomisticum.org/cih18.html
(there's a translation by Fabian R. Larcher, apparently, according to
the Thomas Instituut website).
Nicholas Love's Mirror of the Blessed Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ has
a brief commentary on the Seven Last Words. Grotty images of some
copies of this can be seen on EEBO - an author search for Nicholas Love
finds 9 copies, and the clearest seems to be a 1606 print ('Sitio' is
on image 250 for this, which is page 522 of the actual book). But it is
only half a page for 'Sitio'.
But I'm sure someone out there actually knows about Seven Last Words
literature, which I alas do not!
All good wishes for Holy Week,
