medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Does anyone have recommendations for good articles or books on pilgrim badges? I'm especially interested in their evolution.

Also, there is a detail in a picture--by Hinrik Bornemann my slide says--of a bearded man wearing a brimmed, black hat to which are pinned several pilgrim badges, but I have no title for the painting. I have dim memories that he is an anachronistic detail in a crucifixion scene, but I wouldn't bet on it. Does this ring any bells?

Thanks,
John
