medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In yesterday's longish sampling of Catherine images there are faulty links at items i) and mm). In this post they should be corrected.
And one should disregard item b). The length of the now somewhat degraded inscription identifying the figure at left comports better with her being the iconographically similar Irene.
Apologies for the slips,
John Dillon
