medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am working on the
"De Conformitate Vitae B. P. Francisco ad Vitam Domini Nostri Jesu Christi" by Bartholomew of Pisa (d. 1401) in which he claims that Francis of Assisi not only has taken the seat vacated by Lucifer when he fell
from the angelic world, but Francis is to found in the very side wound of Christ.
Is there a special devotion to the side wound of Christ? I have read that Catherine of Siena had a vision in which all peoples of religion were flowing out of the side wound of Christ. Are there other persons in the middle ages who had such visions? Are there
other saints who appear in the side wound of Christ? Are there any artistic images of Francis or other saints in the side wound of Christ?
Thanks!
