medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Salutations, all!
I have two essays about some of this imagery.
“Clothed with Scarlet, Clothed with the Sun: Patristic
Thoughts on the Women of Apocalypse 11-12 and 17” in
*Earth’s Abominations: Philosophical Studies of Evil*
(ed. Daniel Haybron) (Rodopi: Amsterdam. 2002).
“Dragons in The Golden Legend: The Lives of SS. George
and Margaret” in *The History Review* (vol. 13, 2002).
Let me know if you need copies!
