medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear medievalists,
I would appreciate any early references to rosary beads that opened to reveal scenes. I am looking for verification that such beads existed before 1370 in England. Might anyone have bibliography or know of a museum which exhibits an example datable to the fourteenth century.
Thanks in advance.
