Thanks to David van Meter for some interesting points. I forgot to mention the new book by Barbara Newman "From Virile Woman to Women Christ" (U of Pennsylvania Press, 1995. It may be a bit off topic but it does have an interesting reading on the subject of Purgatory in relation to the textual and other activities of women religious. This is, as far as I know, the first "gendered" reading on the subject, and may or may not find favour as it is reviewed. Regards, Terry %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
