Dear Aida Audeh,
I wonder if any of the following might be of interest to you. I have
done some work on the depictions of the Vices and the Seven Corporal
Works of Mercy in English wall painting and found these additional references
useful.
U.Rehm, Bebilderte Vaterunser Erklärungen des Mittelalters, Saecula
Spiritalia, 28 (Baden-Baden 1994). (describes wheels of Seven Deadly
Sins)
E.Kosmer, 'The Noyous humoure of lecherie', Art Bulletin, 57 (1975)
(iconography of lust)
J.Porcher, Bibliothèque Nationale. Les Manuscrits à Peintures en
France du XIIIe au XVIe siècle (Paris 1955), 35 (a reference to the
Verger du Soulas manuscript with its interesting Tree of Sins
depicted in the above).
G.Schmidt, 'Der Codex 370 der Wiener Nationalbibliothek', Wiener
Jahrbuch für Kunstgeschichte, 17 (1956), (early Frau Welt imagery in
a Central European drawing).
W.Stammler, Frau Welt. Eine Mittelalterliche Allegorie, Freiburger
Universitätsreden, ns 23 (Freiburg in Switzerland 1959).
G.Troescher, 'Ein Bayerisches Kirchenportal und sein Bildkreis.
Keltisches, mediterranes und die Symbole der menschlichen Laster in
der romanischen Bauplastik', Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte (check),
16 (1954) (Romanesque cycles of the eight vices, presumably based on
Cassian).
I was also intending to post a reference to a very interesting
article by Vincent-Cassy (1990) describing the depiction of the sins
riding on animals in late medieval French wall painting, but I
pressed the wrong button on the computer! I'll hunt it out if it
might be helpful. Your work sounds very interesting.
Best Wishes
Miriam Gill
