medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
apologies for cross-posting
I have just posted to my online archive 101 photos from Pavia: the Arca
di Sant'Agostino (funerary monument for Augustine of Hippo) and the
church in which it is housed, San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro:

The Arca gives a very fourteenth-century take on Augustine, with lots of
pomp and miracles. I have not identified some of the figures, despite
help from Sharon Dale (who is about to publish a book on the monument).
Does anyone have ideas about the large standing figures on the top,
pinnacle level? I am particularly curious about one in the next to last
row of thumbnails on the Arca page, last two photos, who holds a large
limp child or some such-- looks rather like someone with a voodoo doll.
Among images on the building's page are some of the reliquary of
Boethius (St. Severinus Boethius), along with the altar that houses
relics of Augustine.
These images take me past the 3000 photo milestone in the development of
my archive. As I was indexing this latest batch, I noticed a few broken
links and fixed them. The archive is now large enough to keep me from
visiting every page very often, so if you ever encounter a broken link
(or other problem), please let me know!
best to all,
Genevra
