medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture This may be outside your remit but Elijah was (and is) important to the Carmelite order, so reading Carmelite literature of this period would probably be helpful Ackerman, J. (1995). Stories of Elijah and Medieval Carmelite Identity. History of Religions, 35(2), 124-147.

The focus of my research is Elijah the Prophet and I want to see what was written about him on the basis of his activity in Kings and his connection to John the Baptist. So far in me research, I have found two kinds of discussions. The first is the biblical commentary of the church fathers, and the second is the modern biblical scholarship focusing on the first centuries AD. These materials have been very helpful, but not enough to understand how Elijah was viewed in 12-15th century western Europe. Can anyone point me to a so-called "golden standard" of medieval biblical commentary? A compilation of exegesis that would have been familiar to the widest circles of the population (to varying degrees, of course)?
