medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Meg, Is your friend primarily interested in perceptions of Brigid in NW Europe or would Italian perceptions also be pertinent? Her cult in parts of northern Italy traversed by pilgrim routes goes back at least as far as the early Middle Ages and, because Irish were 'Scoti' in Latin, she's been identified as a Scot by Italians reacting to hymns, etc. calling her by that term. I could try to put my finger on some particulars if that would help.
