medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 3. July (including St. Thomas, apostle; St. Heliodorus of Altino; St. Leo II, pope): http://tinyurl.com/77qm4sx Further to Thomas: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, add this at the end of the third paragraph: Such is the view of the archdiocese of Lanciano-Ortona. It has been observed by others that this relief said to have accompanied Thomas' relics from Chios to Ortona seemingly portrays rather a medieval monastic saint of the same name (note the head covering and, in the Greek-language inscription, OSIOS instead of the AGIOS one would expect of a major early saint): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/it/d/dd/Lapide_s.tommaso.jpg On Patmos the monastery of St. John the Theologian preserves a skull believed to be that of Thomas the Apostle: http://tinyurl.com/42qqjc6 In the same notice, add at the outset of 'Other dedications to T.' these links to illustrated, English-language and Italian-language pages on the originally earlier twelfth-century chiesa / rotonda di San Tomè / San Tomaso in Lemine, situated in Almenno di San Bartolomeo (BG) in Lombardy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotonda_of_San_Tom%C3%A8 http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotonda_di_San_Tom%C3%A8 http://tinyurl.com/83m5kdn [a page at Italia nell'Arte Medievale] In the same notice, in 'Some portraits of T.', add at the outset this link to an expandable view of Thomas (at upper right; at upper left, St. Mercurius) as portrayed on a leaf of the mid-tenth-century ivory Harbaville Triptych in the Musée du Louvre in Paris: http://tinyurl.com/2fxlfnn and this link to a view of Thomas as depicted in the earlier eleventh-century mosaics (restored betw. 1953 and 1962) of the katholikon of the monastery of Hosios Loukas near Distomo in Phokis: http://tinyurl.com/7tphnpw In the same notice, at item a) in 'Some portraits of T.', for 'chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio' please read 'basilica di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio'. In the same notice, after item a) in ''Some portraits of T.', add these links to views of Thomas as depicted in the later twelfth-century frescoes (betw. 1176 and 1200) of the church of St. George in Staraya Ladoga (Leningrad oblast): http://www.icon-art.info/hires.php?lng=en&type=11&id=1431 http://www.icon-art.info/hires.php?lng=en&type=11&id=1435 In the same notice, at item b) in 'Some portraits of T.', please note that both here and later in this notice the links to illuminations in manuscripts at the BnF in Paris still work but the image server there is not co-operating. In the same notice, after item b) in 'Some portraits of T.' this link to a view of Thomas as depicted in a fresco of ca. 1300, attributed to Manuel Panselinos, in the Protaton church on Mt. Athos: http://tinyurl.com/3vdpetk and this link to a view of Thomas' martyrdom as depicted in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1312 and 1321/1322) in the nave of the monastery church of the Theotokos at Gračanica in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either the Republic of Kosovo or Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija: http://tinyurl.com/7jma222 and this link to a view of Thomas as depicted in a later fourteenth-century Novgorod School panel painting (1360s?) now in the Russian Museum, St. Petersburg: http://www.icon-art.info/hires.php?lng=en&type=1&id=557 In 2011 Gordon Plumb posted further depictions of Thomas, all in glass: http://tinyurl.com/c8pxpl3 In the same notice, after item j) in 'Some portrayals of the Doubting (or the Incredulity) of St. Thomas' [there's another in a window panel in Exeter cathedral linked to in the aforementioned post by by Gordon Plumb] this link to an expandable view of a late thirteenth-century panel painting of this subject by Michael Astrapas and Eutychios, formerly in the church of the Peribleptos (now Sv. Climent Novi) in Ohrid and now in the adjacent Icon Gallery there: http://www.soros.org.mk/konkurs/019/eng/i12.htm In the same notice, at item h) in 'Some portrayals of the Doubting (or the Incredulity) of St. Thomas' add this detail view of Thomas and Christ in the fresco: http://tinyurl.com/84uubjc In the same notice, the link at item m) in 'Some portrayals of the Doubting (or the Incredulity) of St. Thomas' no longer takes one to the requisite image.

Use this instead: http://www.wga.hu/art/zgothic/mosaics/8/1torcel1.jpg Further to Leo II: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, neither the initial link to a view of ancient columns in the nave of Rome's Santa Bibiana nor the following one to a view better showing the base of one of these still functions.
