medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Meg,
You might find some interesting material in Brigitte Caulier, L'eau et
le sacre. Les cultes therapeutiques autour des fontaines en France du
Moyen Age a nos jours (Paris: Beauchesne, 1990).
Cheers,
Jim

I would also be interested in narrative accounts of wells or springs (i.e. sources of drinking water) being blessed or exorcised. Of course, St. Columba dealt with the Loch Nes monster or a relative in his day, but I'm really interested in smaller ponds, pools, especially if sources of drinking water.
