Hi Freddie and others reading,
Glad to hear no news is good news. The glass examples (from England
anyway) are at Canterbury (fairly complete) and York (fragmentary).
They are quite well written up, particularly the Canterbury one in
Caviness's work on Canterbury glass. See also a book by A. Watson
'The Early Iconography of the Tree of Jesse' (Oxford 1934). There
may well be others in England and certainly elsewhere, and there is
also much written about them. Check with the Corpus Vitrearum.
I dont know anything else about them other than both the English
examples have been associated with crown patronage, especially
Eleanor of Aquitaine. Whether this is well based, I could not say,
having not looked into it for a long time.
best wishes
Duncan
