medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture As this is getting more detailed, I am writing to Laura off-list.

Unless stated to the contrary in my caption, I normally have much higher-resolution versions of everything I post, and can easily break out various parts. best, Genevra On 1/12/2014 6:23 PM, Laura Jacobus wrote: > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > This was really kind of you!
