Dear List Members,
Where can one go to find references to Lapis Lazuli and the virgin's robe?
Why did it change from red and how did red for the virgin start in the first
place? Was red associated with the cochineal worm and/or with cinnabar? I
thought red was associated with Christ and his sacrificial blood. I am
working on iconographical evidence as one facet of my dissertation on
Gottfried's TRISTAN.
Thanks in advance, Pat McGurk
