medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Marjorie
I have found no explanation for the figure in the apocryphal gospels, but
she is discussed by Don Denny, who sees her as a representation of the Old
Law, or Synagoga. Don Denny, 'Some Symbols in the Arena Chapel Frescoes',
Art Bulletin, 55 (1973), pp.205-212.
Best
Catherine
