medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

> Does anyone know of a good study (or even really good and up-to-date
> encyclopedia article) on the history of indulgences - and the Latin
> vocabulary used for them? 
>   
the classic study is:

Nikolaus Paulus, Geschichte des Ablasses im Mittelalter. Vom Ursprunge 
bis zur Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts. 3 vols. (Paderborn 1922-23 / reprint 
2000).

see also:
Paolo Brezzi, M. Monaco, La beneficenza pontificia attraverso i secoli 
(Roma 1962). 

Adolf Gottlob, Kreuzzugablaß und Almosenablaß. Eine Studie über die 
Frühzeit des Ablaßwesens (Kirchenrechtliche Abhandlungen 30-31,  
Stuttgart 1906).

Cyrille Vogel, En rémission des pechés. Recherches sur les systèmes 
pénitentiels dans l'Eglise latine (IIe-XIIIe siècles) (CS 450,  
Aldershot 1994). 

Arnold Angenendt, T. Braucks, Ralf Busch, Thomas Lentes, Hubertus 
Lutterbach, Gezählte Frömmigkeit, in; /Fruehmittelalterliche Studien 29/ 
(1995) 1-71.

Robert W. Shaffern, Indulgences and saintly devotionalisms in the Middle 
Ages, in: /Catholic Hist. Review 84/ (1998) 643-661. 

Horst Enzensberger, "Quoniam ut ait apostolus". Osservazioni su lettere 
di indulgenza nei secoli XIII e XIV, in: /Studi medievali e moderni. 
//Arte, letteratura, storia/ 1 (1999) 57-100.

I have not seen yet:

R. N. Swanson, ed., Promissory notes on the treasury of merit: 
indulgences in late medieval Europe (Leiden 2006).
