Thomas J. Swaner, Loyola University of Chicago
After a couple months of eavesdropping I have been compelled to introduce
myself by my desire to offer a bibliographic suggestion on medieval
saints' cults. At present, I am working on a thesis exploring the cults
of Sts. Anne, James, and Mary Salome (Anne's daughter and James's mother)
in southern France and northern Spain. While the cults of Anne and James
were the focus of much devotion during different periods, the cult of Mary
Salome, their connection in the Holy Kinship, encountered opposition from
many directions throughout the Middle Ages. Any insights on this
situation would be gratefully received.
My bibliographic suggestion will follow in another message under an
appropriate subject heading.
