medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 17. February (including St. Theodore of Amasea [both simply and in his personae as Theodore Tiro and Theodore Stratelates]; St. Flavian, bp. of Constantinople; St. Benedict of Dolia; St. Constabilis): http://tinyurl.com/8y6yuyd Further to Theodore of Amasea: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the three links having to do with Theodore's reliquary in Brindisi no longer function. Use these instead: View of the Arca di San Teodoro: http://www.brindisiweb.it/storia/foto/arca1.jpg View of the panel showing the saint's arrival in Brindisi: http://www.brindisiweb.it/arcidiocesi/foto/arca_part.jpg Italian-language page on the Arca di San Teodoro: http://www.brindisiweb.it/storia/arca_santeodoro.asp To the same notice, add that relics believed to be those of Theodore Stratelates are said to have been brought in 1267 to Venice (where Theodore had been the early patron saint). These are now kept in Venice's chiesa di San Salvador in the effigy reliquary shown here: http://www.iltesorodisansalvador.it/img/gallery4/chiesa_5_b.jpg Detail view: http://www.iltesorodisansalvador.it/img/gallery4/chiesa_6_b.jpg In the same notice, all of the links to portrayals of Theodore seem to work. Your correspondent hopes to prepare a revised and expanded set of such links this coming weekend. In the same notice, the second of the three links to views of Rome's chiesa di San Teodoro no longer functions. Use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/6u98o69 In the same notice, the first of the three links to views of the church of Agioi Theodoroi in Athens no longer functions. Use this instead: http://www.foxysislandwalks.com/Athens/Ayioi-Theodoroi.jpg And add this illustrated, English-language page on that church: http://tinyurl.com/6p35hem and these detail views: http://www.mesogeia.net/athens/places/byzantineathens/agtheodori002_en.html http://www.mesogeia.net/athens/places/byzantineathens/agtheodori003_en.html http://www.mesogeia.net/athens/places/byzantineathens/agtheodori005_en.html In the same notice, the second of the two views of the church of St. Theodore Stratilat on the Brook in Veliky Novgorod no longer functions. Use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/6r2t9g3 In the same notice, the third link to heterodox understandings of Theodore's appellation 'Tiro' no longer functions. Use this instead (begorra!): http://saintbarbara.org/about/icons/theodore.php Further to Flavian, bp. of Constantinople: To that earlier post's notice of this saint, add this view of what would seem to be this Flavian as depicted in an early fourteenth-century fresco (1312) in the katholikon of the Vatopedi monastery on Mt. Athos (he's not wearing a polystavrion but neither, in the same set of portraits, is St. Eustathius, metropolitan of Thessaloniki): http://tinyurl.com/3p8u2n4 In the same notice, the third link to views of the chiesa di San Flaviano in Giulianova (TE) in Abruzzo no longer leads directly to the views in question. Use this link instead to two pages of views: http://foto.inabruzzo.it/provincia%20Teramo/D-M/Giulianova-San-Flaviano/index.html In the same notice the two links following to views of Flavian's reliquary in his church at Giulianova no longer function. Use these instead: http://foto.inabruzzo.it/provincia%20Teramo/D-M/Giulianova-San-Flaviano/foto-SFlavianoT01.html http://foto.inabruzzo.it/provincia%20Teramo/D-M/Giulianova-San-Flaviano/foto-SFlavianoT02.html In the same notice, the link to an instance of this Flavian's long-standing identification at Recanati as the saint of its cathedral (a co-cathedral of the diocese of Macerata - Tolentino - Recanati - Cingoli - Treia) no longer functions. Herewith two examples, one civic, the other ecclesiastical: http://www.prolocorecanati.it/ultimissime%202.htm http://tinyurl.com/7ve4o39 Flavian (at right; at left, St. Thomas Aquinas) as depicted in a panel of Lorenzo Lotto's early sixteenth-century Recanati Polyptych (betw. 1506 and 1508) in Recanati's Museo civico Villa Coloredo Mels (view is expandable): http://tinyurl.com/6nd76gl Further to Benedict of Dolia: To that earlier post's notice of this saint, add this link to another illustrated, Italian-language page on the chiesa di San Pantaleo in Dolianova (CA) in Sardinia: http://tinyurl.com/7qf2t49 Further to Constabilis: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the views of the east side of the cloister at Cava de' Tirreni no longer function. Use these instead: http://tinyurl.com/8xj73e9 http://tinyurl.com/8xustdg http://tinyurl.com/6wr9kge Best, John Dillon ********************************************************************** 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
