medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Doctissimi,
Yesterday I came upon a statue of Saint Augustine holding a heart in his
hand. I found this in the Golden Legend:
"Secondly, for the fervent love, for like as the month of August is hot by
heat, so is he enchauffed of the fire of the divine love, wherefore he saith
himself in the book of Confessions: Thou hast throughpierced my heart with
thy charity."
Is it a safe bet that this is the source of the image or does someone have a
better explanation?
Thanks, MG
