medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Gee, Christopher, I am grateful to the subcommittee for even thinking of the Jacob van Hulsdonck, but if Raphael's too late, then JvH (d.1647) is even more so. Let's be safe, and I'll act surprised when I'm given the Niccolò di Pietro Gerini (d.1414). Thank you!
