medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

Dear Jessica,
About the most detailed study of labyrinths available is Hermann Kern,
Through the Labyrinth: Designs and Meanings over 5000 Years (Munich:
Prestel, 2000). This is just the sort of detail he may well answer.
Also good on the significance of medieval floor labyrinths is Craig
Wright, The Maze and the Warrior.
Cheers,
Jim
