medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I think there is a bit on this in the 2nd edition of Tom Mathews "The Clash
of Gods." He has done some incredible work, as yet unpublished, on late
antique Egyptian panel paintings & the beginning of icons, of which a hint
is given in this book.

I have seen it suggested recently, in a book on Herculaneum, that poses for
Virgin & Child might have been copied back when from Isis & Horus. Has
anyone actually done comparative work in that line?
Copying styles, of course, is not the same as simple renaming of a godess,
which I find unlikely.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I, for one, do not believe it in any sense, think it is nonsense and
impossible to back up. Claims of this sort have been around ever since there
were Christians to persecute and will always be with us. The innate thirst
for the transcendent chafes certain people, who then find it necessary to
lash out at believers. I learned ages ago to ignore them.
