medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Hi, This one comes immediately to mind: In a sculpture at S. Marta del Tera (Benavente) his shell is on his bag. See http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/medievalstudies/files/2015/02/03_demilio_tera.jpg Best, Eileen > On Feb 26, 2017, at 1:03 PM, Cormack, Margaret Jean <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > Greetings all, > I have found numerous texts for blessing pilgrims on the internet, but they seem mostly to be modern ones. Does anyone know of a good medieval text? Also, I was always told that pilgrims set off with a staff and scrip (bag), and indeed there are numerous illustrations of such in the internet. I assume they would also have been blessed, but my question is a slightly different one. St. James is often portrayed as a pilgrim, but in the images a preliminary search has produced, when represented as such he has his scallop shell and a staff, but no scrip. Maybe I’m just looking at the wrong images . . . > As always, any help much appreciated! > Meg > ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe 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: unsubscribe 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/medieval-religion ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe 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: unsubscribe 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/medieval-religion
