medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

> 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?
