medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Perhaps a bibliographic avenue of research on the paschal candle would be looking for references to the Carmen paschale aka Exultet. I know that there had been lots of work done on Beneventan liturgy's development of the hymn  (with mansucript illustrations) but (sorry) I don't have it at the ready. There are some references in A. G. Martimort, The Church at Prayer and J. A. Jungmann, Pastoral Liturgy.
