Rebecca,
I too am a graduate student who is very grateful for what this List has
taught me! Considering your interest in "the early politics of the church
but also the church as a building, both architecural and in the minds of the
everyday people of earlier days", I thought I'd mention _The Allegory of the
Church_ [U of Toronto Press, 1998] by Calvin B. Kendall(my advisor here at
the University of Minnesota). You may want to scan through it to see if his
thoughts on the physical structure of Romanesque portals would be helpful to
you. Good luck to you, and welcome!

Hi!
I've just joined this list and since it seems that everyone is requested to
introduce themselves to the list I thought it would be best to do so too
(even though I've always prefered to be a lurker the first couple of months
on a list). My academic merits are not exactlly breath-taking, I have a B.A.
in Historical studies of the Antiquity - and my general focus has been on
the later part of that time - and am currently working on a M.A. in Medieval
archaeology (all of this at the University of Lund, Sweden). My chief
interest in this period is the early politics of the church but also the
church as a building, both architecural and in the minds of the everyday
peolpe of earlier days.
I'm sorry if this seems a little bit out of focus, but there you have it
and you will probably not hear from me again for quite some time, I will
have much more to gain from from listening to the ones who knows something
than from participating myself - at least in this early stages.
Thanks for your attention,
Rebecca Bugge
