medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Greetings all!
I wonder if anyone can suggest scholarly studies about the CULTS OF St James the Greater, St. Zita of Lucca (about whom I know absolutely nothing, not even her feast day, but she apparently lived in the 13th century) and St. Peter Claver, who very much post-dates the timeframe of this list but perhaps someone has run across something on him.
Also, what would list members (Phyllis?) suggest as an English language "first resource" for students or others investigating the development of the cult of a saint? I myself, after trying the Lexikon der Theologie und Kirche, would probably go to the Oxford Dictionary of Saints, but I'm wondering if there is something more recent and more oriented towards veneration rather than "biography".
Thanks, and best wishes for the new year,
Meg
