medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Rachel,
Yasmin Haskell is currenty wiriting a chapter on the cultural history
of insects. An useful recent article on medieval insects is this one:
https://benjamins.com/#catalog/journals/rein.27.10per/details. You can
find some comparative material on insects inside human bodies (a
widespread theme, also in medieval times) in my 2017 forthcoming
article "The Bosom Serpent in a Toga: Rufus of Ephesus, Galen,
Alexander of Tralles and the Snake Trick Between Folklore and
Psychopathology". - La Ricerca Folklorica 72

All the best,
Davide
