Also of interest might be Naomi Feuchtwanger, 'The Coronation of the Virgin and of the Bride', Jewish ARt: For Bezalel NArkiss on his 60th Birthday, 12/13 (1986/7), 213-224. I have not yet got hold of this myself, so I don't know what it is like, but am trying, and will file a report if it is rewarding!

Best wishes,

Freddi Law-Turner

Dear Tom,
If you don't know it already, maybe the following could help to trace
primary sources:
VERDIER Philippe
   Le couronnement de la Vierge. Les origines et les premiers
   de/veloppements d'un the\me iconographique. Montreal: Insti-
   tut d'e/tudes me/die/vales, Paris: Vrin, 1980 (= Confe/rence
   Albert-le-Grand, 1972), 277 pp.
Btw, belated thanks for the note and info that you posted off list!
Yours,
Otfried
