I looked at some commentaries on Kings and Acts, but haven&#39;t found an explanation that connects the ascension of Elijah to the ascension of Christ.<br>Can anyone recommend where I should look?<br>My research arena is central to western Europe, 11-15th century.<br></div><div><br></div><div>One study I read claimed that the topos and imagery originated in the Pauper&#39;s Bible iconography and disseminated from there, but I am hesitant to accept this theory without more information.</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_-1697253738110302848m_8809739606134113564gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><b>Chana Shacham-Rosby</b></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
