medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Colleagues,
How is the French term "polyptique" usually rendered in English? I'm
reading Poly & Bournazel's _La mutation_, and the in which they refer to
this as a kind of historical source (Carolingian era & succeeding century
or two). I've never encountered the term before and don't find it in my
French dictionaries.
If the answer turns out to be "polyptych," and my ignorance is historical
rather than linguistic, I'd be grateful for an elaboration.
