medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture apologies for cross-posting! Dear all, I have just added over a hundred more images to my archive, from the Landesmuseum in Mainz and the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest. They are in all parts of the site, but many are concentrated in http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/EleventhTwelfth5.html where you will find a major Ottonian eagle fibula, an extraordinarily three-dimensional ivory Virgin and Child, and an ivory Creation of the Birds and Fish (for the art historians: related to the 'Cotton Genesis recension') and http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/HistoricalGlass4.html where you will find a Merovingian glass drinking horn in excellent condition, and a16th-c 'Corpus Christi flask' and http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/SixteenthSeventeenth4.html where you will see a musical automaton in the form of a male saint, as well as some coconut-, ostrich egg-, and nautilus-shell oddities. My question is about http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/images/MAABPassionIv5.jpg which I interpret as the Mocking of Christ. (You will find the full diptych of which this is a detail at http://www.kornbluthphoto.com/ThirteenthFifteenth4.html along with wood figures of St Christopher and St Margaret.) I don't remember seeing elsewhere Christ's head wrapped in cloth, as this ivory seems to show. Do any of you know similar imagery, or have suggestions as to its meaning? Best to all for a good New Year, Genevra ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
