Dear Laura,
I believe it must have been somewhat before you joined the list that 
there was a brief exchange on the possible connection of Giotto with 
a confraternity which put on performances of 'mystery plays' with 
staging related to the settings of  some of the narrative scenes in 
his frescoes.  There was a call for sources or references to this, 
but I don't recall that anyone offered any.  Do you know anything 
about this?
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
