medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

From: Ms B M Cook <[log in to unmask]>

> Some month ago there was, I think, mention through this List of a 12th C
chapel on the I^sle de la Cite' in Paris that had recently been refurbished
and opened to the public and which was being promoted as the likely venue of
the marriage of Abelard and Heloise. There was (is ?) a website with very nice
pictures of the place.
 
> I have been trying via Google &c to find this, Has anybody got the Link ?  I
am SURE I bookmarked it at the time, but think that this was one of the
casualties of a computer crash I had last October.


i don't know about a website, but there was a pretty decent article on the
place in the Bulletin Monumental a few years ago --perhaps i mentioned that on
the previous thread.

somewhere i've got some .jpgs scanned from that.

nothing particularly remarkable about the place --aside from the fact that it
has (largely) survived.

no spectacular figural capitals, for example.

the work, over all, is quite good, but not quite first class, definitely early
c. 12, which fits with the pitiful bits which we know about it from the
documents.
