medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Megan, There is hope -- consult F.C. Tubach, Index exemplorum, Helsinki, 1969; this indexes over 400 exempla by Etienne de Bourbon. It may also help to consult the wonderful site: http://www.ehess.fr/centres/gahom/ThesEx.htm And failing that, I would try writing a veritable fount of all knowledge concerning medieval exempla, Jacques Berlioz (whom you can contact via the site noted above). All good wishes, George *** George Ferzoco University of Leicester [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture on behalf of Megan McLaughlin Sent: Thu 2004-07-22 17:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [M-R] Seeking an Exemplum medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Hi All. I am trying to track down an exemplum in which a noblewoman invites a Dominican to preach in her chapel. His sermon dwells on the wickedness of women and she finally stands up and tells him to stop denigrating her sex. The reference I have is to Etienne de Bourbon, but the page number is wrong, and I have not been able to find it just by leafing through the book. Does the story ring a bell with anyone? Thanks for any help you can provide.
