medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks very much-- I would try off list but need your contact---NsH ?? I
try to keep up but what does this stand for? (Not so Hot??) :0)
If I might offer a mild somewhatTAN opinion based on very recent observation
YUP as Worst UP for photo reproductions! Cf. Jerrilynn D. Dodds, Arts of
Intimacy: Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the making of Castilian culture.
I am sorry not to have had time to read much/any of the text, which looked
very interesting and unusually presented, but it was hot and I was in the YU
bookstore waiting for someone, and just could not get past the poor color
and NsH other qualities of the many many photos in this intriguing book.
Any thoughts on the CONTENT would be welcome from anyone resolute enough to
get past the photos

> Christopher---these are wonderful, extraordinary photos--but can you tell
us
about the site, "snapageno" and photographer? There does not seem to be an
author contact. Is it you??? :)
non.
the photographer is a very, very nice fellow, Henri de Feraudy (a.k.a., "The
Mad Snapper,") who lived in a small village near Versailles until a few
months
ago, when he moved elsewhere in France (i forget where).
he is, obviously, an expert photographer, with a special interest in stained
glass, and happily (for us) became a very valued member of my little
Chartres
discussion list a few years ago.
his photographs of the Chartres windows (and others, here and there), many
of
which are on that same site, have never been equaled, in my NsH opinion.
Margot Fassler's book on Chartres, which finally came out just last month
http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300110883
features many of Henri's photographs, unfortunately rather ruined by the
YUPpies' grotesquely incompetent printing technique.
the CD photos on that page
http://snapageno.free.fr/Churches/Chateaudun/index.htm
are really only snapshots, which he took at my request rather hurriedly
because i have been interested in that place for quite some time and just
needed some general "establishing shots" for some work on it which i have
been
engaged in lately, trying to make sense of that "untidy" (as Lindy Grant has
styled it) building.
i am reluctant to say more, on-list, but would happily supply more
information
--including his contact email-- to you or anyone else who might be
interested,
off-list.
