medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
As long as we're adding matter from April that was overlooked then, herewith a few further visuals for St. George of Lydda (also George of Cappadocia):
1) George as depicted in the opening initial of (a version of) his Passio in a fragment, now in the Schøyen Collection, of a mid-thirteenth-century Passionale of German or Swiss origin:

2) On 04/23/12, I wrote, supplementing matter in an earlier post:
> > Add these links to views of George as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. 1313 and 1318; conservation work in 1968) by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the church dedicated to him at Staro Nagoričane in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia:

Also missing were these links to the same church's painting, by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios in the same earlier fourteenth-century campaign, of George, the dragon, and the princess of Trebizond:

Two English-language accounts of this chapel (the second focusing on the paintings) and some other views of it:
