medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
[log in to unmask]" type="cite" class="cite2"> medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureAs I understand the Abbey Guide ;) it references a dream of Bishop Oliver King (for whom see the rebus on the west front).
But I may be wrong.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureDear List,
I am currently researching the sculptural display of Jacob's Ladder on the western end of Bath Abbey. There are precious few secondary sources on this rendition - James Kugel in 1995 and David C. Steimetz in 1986 - but the sculptural work seems to be the original from its rebuild in 1499. I know that Jacob's Ladder has been rendered many times in medieval and early modern paintings and twentieth century cathedrals have often built small stone ladders in their entrances. I would have thought, however, that Jacob's Ladder would have appeared on other medieval and early modern cathedral facades but I can't seem to find any other ones. I find this is surprising but I am obviously not looking in the right areas. Does anyone on the list know of any other examples?
Many thanks in advance,Darrelyn Gunzburg
