medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Dear Albert,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Conversion through blood echoes in Savonarola as well. This is fantastic!

Thank you all for your help so far.

Best,

Marco

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi Marco,

If you look at the Legenda Aurea, you can find a few stories of Jews essentially being bathed in the blood of Christ before converting.

There are two such stories found consecutively in the section, "The Exaltation of the Holy Cross."

Dear all,

My name is Marco Piana, and I am a Ph.D. student at McGill University, Montreal. During the last months, I have been working on an article on blood devotion in early modern Italy. One of my case studies involves a vision/prophecy where people convert to Christianity by bathing into the blood of Christ. I was wondering if it is a consistent topos in medieval Christianity, and if so, if you ever encountered a similar case.

Thank you very much in advance!

All the best,

Marco
