A bizarre and even gruesome request - a student of mine is
looking for literature on treatment of dead bodies on medieval
battlefields - burial, embalming of leaders, but also robbing
of bodies and reuse of bones and teeth (!)
Serves me right, really, for running a Special Subject on
Art, Death and Memory.
