medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I would like to thank all who have replied to my query.
You more than answered my original questions. Your answers and comments
will lead to consider the biblical, monastic, and liturgical connotations
of Villana's use of the iron chain.
Indeed, the zona ferrea is written in her vita along other
ascetic/penitential practices such as hairshirt and fasting vigils. Some
of you may be interested in the full description, as it suggests she never
took it off again.
"Ferrea pridem zona ad mammillas super nuda se precinxit, que tanta
illius corpuscolo tenacitate inhesit ut emortuo tandem vix sine carnibus
posset
avelli."
thank you again
