medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
HI, John. This is just a quick note to thank you for your
pains-taking efforts and expertise on matters architectural. Your
latest submission is a jewel and I saved in my file. You have been a
great source of information and inspiration to my students. May I
have your mailing address? Incidentally, we visited Sta. Maria
Novella in Florence as usual and still cannot find a good reproduction
of the murals in the Strozzi Chapel. I still have to e-mail you sent
me but I cannot read the inscriptions or make out parts of the map.
Do you know a printed source I could purchase in which these details
are clear? Also, do you know any other "Maps of Hell" that might
contribute towards a group study of Drante and his sources? yrs, tom
ault
