If we are talking about actual _mediaeval_ typology as a form of
exegesis, then I think a person would be best advised to start with
Beryl Smalley's _The Study of the Bible in the Middle Ages_ and Henri
de Lubac's _Exegese medievale: les quatre sens de l'ecriture_ (sorry:
I can't do accents in e-mail). Unfortunately I don't think that the
latter has been translated into English, which may be a problem for
the original enquirer's student. If I can engage in a little self
advertisement, I do have a section on allegory and the concept of the
senses of scripture (which includes a comparison of 'allegory' and
'typology') in the 'exegetical background' chapter of my paper on
Rupert of Deutz, which is available at
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca:8080/~young
It is aimed quite specifically at mediaeval exegesis, rather than art
history or later theology, but there's a fair amount of bibliography
and it does have the advantage of being in English!
