medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Anna Sapir Abulafia has written several articles dealing with how Jews
were viewed in the Middle Ages. Either Miri Rubin (in Corpus Christi,
CAambridge, 1991 and perhaps elsewhere)or Kathleen Biddick,in "Genders,
Bodies, Borders: Technologies of the Visible,"Speculum LXVIII, pp.389-418.
Reprinted in N. Partner, ed.Studying Medieval Women: Sex, Gender, Feminism.
Cambridge,1993, discusses Paolo Uccello's Miracle of the Host. There is also
an article dealing with cassone painting and Jewish patronage,
i.e.,Haraszti-Takács, M. "Fifteenth-Century Painted Furniture with Scenes
from the Esther Story," Jewish Art 15 (1989): 14-25. (I am skeptical about
her conclusions.)
Sorry to be so vague but I am away from my library.
Best wishes,

Apologies for crosspostings to two lists, neither of which is a
renassiance one, but I know there are plenty of you out there who stray
into the fifteenth century and beyond.
A student wants to do her MA dissertation on the way Jews are portrayed
in Renaissance Art and has asked me for suggestions on what to read.
I've come up with Ruth Mellinkoff, Sara Lipton. Dana Katz, an article by
Diane Owen Hughes on Jews and Earrings, the location of which I can't
remember, and a few other equally vague ideas on topics to search
through (Judas, depictions of the Circumcision and Purfication,
Renaissance Haggadahs and other MSS). Clearly, she needs more help than
I can give her! Any suggestions?
