medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Carlos,
I'm not aware of this manuscript illumination. If you have access to an
image of it, I could
send you a digital copy of my image (privately, of course) so that you could
see if the two
were similar.
Best wishes,
Jim
