medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
On 09/13/11, I wrote, apropos portrayals of St. John Chrysostom:

Er, at _left_ (at right, Jacob of Coccinobaphi).
A few further portrayals:
a) An expandable view of J.'s death, with his soul being taken up into heaven, as depicted in a late thirteenth-century copy of French origin of the _Legenda aurea_ (San Marino, CA, Huntington Library, ms. HM 3027, fol. 124v):

b) J. as depicted in an earlier fourteenth-century (ca. 1326-1350) collection of French-language saint's Lives (Paris, BnF, ms. Français 185, fol. 257v):

c) J. as depicted in an earlier fourteenth-century copy (1348) of the _Legenda aurea_ in its French-language version by Jean de Vignay (Paris, BnF, ms. Français 241, fol. 247r):

d) J. (at left) as depicted in a later fifteenth-century copy (ca. 1480-1490) of the _Legenda aurea_ in its French-language version by Jean de Vignay (Paris, BnF, ms. Français 245, fol. 97r):

Clearly, there were some who didn't get the memo about J.'s standard portraiture.
Best again,
JD
