medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Would the learned listmembers be so good as to share their knowledge on the subject of medieval notions of amber? I'm interested in the following or sources to find the following: - Medueval ideas about what amber was and what it could be used for (aside from jewelry) - Medieval commentary on Thales' remarks about Greek understanding of amber - Words for amber, especially kennings - How and when Arabic words for and ideas about amber circulated in European cultures Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
