medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In response to two recent questions...
Yes Cate, Eddie Jones' forthcoming article on Julian of Norwich's name suggests that it was a coincidence a woman baptised Julian being enclosed in a church dedicated to St. Julian. I suppose the church's dedication might have been a motivating factor (though probably not a significant one) in her choice of anchorhold in a city so full of recluses (as indeed Norman Tanner so comprehensively describes).
Yes Charles, "Teresa of the Child Jesus" (and indeed "of the Holy Face") was Therese of Lisieux. Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada was known in religious life as Teresa of Jesus, though today is best known of course as Teresa of Avila.
Best wishes,
Johan
