medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I've read most the standard literature (mostly secondary literature) on
English cathedrals over the past 2-3 years, looking specifically for how
people used them and how they accomodated/responded to cults, and have come
across nothing like this.
I would love a pointer to thismedieval art list, though: is it also on
jiscmail?
