medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Herewith a link to an earlier (2011) 'Feasts and saints of the day' for 15. August (including The Dormition of the Theotokos and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary [one feast that over time has become two]; St. Tarsicius; St. Simplicianus; St. Alypius of Tagaste; St. Altfrid; St. Arduin of Rimini; St. Hyacinth of Poland): http://tinyurl.com/9tocaxl Further to the Dormition of the Theotokos and to the Assumption of the BVM: For those with access to Google Books, John of Thessalonica's seventh-century sermon on the Dormition is available here in an annotated, English-language translation (Brian Daley, tr., _On the Dormition of Mary: Early Patristic Homilies_ [Crestwood, NY : St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press, 1998], pp. 47-70): http://tinyurl.com/43qulfa In 2011 there were several follow-up posts with links to pertinent visuals. Links and updates will follow in pt. 2. Further to Simplicianus: In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the Italian-language account of Milan's basilica di San Simpliciano no longer functions. Use this link to another, multi-page account instead: http://www.sansimpliciano.it/storia.php In the same notice, the links to a view of San Simpliciano's main portal and to a single detail view of it no longer function. Use this for a distance view: http://tinyurl.com/98nu5wu and this for detail views: http://tinyurl.com/8u2o8p8 In the same notice, the third of the three links to interior views of San Simpliciano also no longer functions. Use this instead: http://tinyurl.com/9xy8we9 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
