You're welcome to download it, Chris! I wonder if the window is an artistic device to allow us to see the curtain in front of the sanctuary behind which the bishop privately mortared the relic(s) into the altar slab.

> Can members point to illustrations of the ritual? That in the so-called
Lanalet pontifical (eleventh century, Bibliotheque de la Ville de Rouen, MS
A.27 (368) fol. 2v.) http://tascphotogallery.shutterfly.com/pictures/9
shows two tubs outside the church. I wonder if there are others?
the bishop's crozier against the door is significant --the text calls for him
to bang on the door with that in order to get the portas to tolete (or
whatever).
the tubs are a mystery to me.
as is the curious "window" (with curtain?) in the lower level of the wall to
the right of the doorway.
i don't recall seeing an early pic of a church consecration before.
thanks, Graham, for this Anglo-Norman example.
i don't suppose you have a larger detail of it?
