Dear Laura,
I believe it must have been somewhat before you joined the list that
there was a brief exchange on the possible connection of Giotto with
a confraternity which put on performances of 'mystery plays' with
staging related to the settings of some of the narrative scenes in
his frescoes. There was a call for sources or references to this,
but I don't recall that anyone offered any. Do you know anything
about this?
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
