medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to part 1 of an earlier (2011) 'Feasts and saints of the day' for 10. August (including St. Lawrence of Rome; St. Blane; Bl. Arcangelo of Calatafimi): http://tinyurl.com/c84fgga Herewith a link to a follow-up post (10. August 2011) to part 1 from Gordon Plumb with links to other images of Lawrence in English glass: http://tinyurl.com/c5h4wbw Herewith a link to part 2 of that earlier (2011) 'Feasts and saints of the day' for 10. August (briefly continuing the links to images of Lawrence and then offering some links to views, etc. of some dedications to Lawrence outside of Rome): http://tinyurl.com/d6epot2 Further to Lawrence: In that earlier part 1's treatment of Lawrence, the link to the illustrated, Italian-language page on the bombing of San Lorenzo fuori le Mura on 19. July 1943 no longer functions. In the same part, the link to a view of the object in Rome's San Lorenzo in Lucina said to be the grill on which he suffered also no longer functions. Use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/76pa6qz With any luck, most of the other links in those earlier posts will still function properly. Herewith a few more in partial recompense for the ones that no longer do: Lawrence as depicted in a later twelfth-century glass window panel (betw. ca. 1175 and ca. 1180; head is C19; later restorations) thought to have come from Canterbury cathedral and now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York: http://www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/70009883 The later twelfth-century St. Lawrence window (ca. 1180) in the cathédrale St.-Pierre in Poitiers: http://www.therosewindow.com/pilot/Poitiers%20Cathedral/w1.htm http://tinyurl.com/8jnmn28 Lawrence's martyrdom as depicted in a probably thirteenth-century fresco in the cripta di Santa Margherita at Melfi (PZ) in Basilicata: http://www.flickr.com/photos/basilicatatravel/3575822658/lightbox/ Lawrence (at lower right; above and to the right, St. Nicholas) as depicted in a thirteenth-century wall painting in Hejdeby kyrka in Gotland: http://tinyurl.com/8e5ywgt Lawrence as depicted in the later thirteenth-century frescoes (1259) in the church of Sts. Nicholas and Panteleimon at Boyana near the Bulgarian capital of Sofia: http://galenf.com/Bulgaria/36/bu_0016b.jpg Lawrence's martyrdom as depicted in a later thirteenth-century psalter (betw. 1251 and 1275) of Netherlandish origin (London, BL, MS Burney 345, fol. 69r): http://tinyurl.com/9htz32r Lawrence dispensing alms and Lawrence's martyrdom as depicted in an earlier fourteenth-century copy (ca. 1335) of Vincent of Beauvais' _Speculum historiale_ in its French-language version by Jean de Vignay (Paris, BnF, ms. Arsenal 5080, fol. 194r): http://tinyurl.com/8jk6j6r Lawrence (at left; at right, St. Eupl[i]us) as depicted in the earlier sixteenth-century frescoes (1545 and 1546) by Theofanis Strelitzas-Bathas (a.k.a. Theophanes the Cretan) in the katholikon of the Stavronikita monastery on Mt. Athos: http://tinyurl.com/6j9vlsl Further to Blane: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the fourth link in the 'Other views' of Dunblane cathedral (seemingly to an interior view) no longer functions.
