St James with his scrip is in late medieval stained glass at Llantysilio near Llangollen in north Wales. The photo from the Stained Glass of Wales site has been removed for some reason - the ony online version I can find is on this canal boat web site

scroll down and you will eventually get to it.

There are several versions of rituals for the blessing of pilgrims in the

Manuale et processionale ad usum insignis ecclesiae Eboracensis

not sure if this is of any help - it's a difficult site to work with

For comparison, here are a bunch of small purses/scrips worn by other folks.

Hi,

This one comes immediately to mind: In a sculpture at  S. Marta del Tera (Benavente)  his shell is on his bag.

Best,

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
