Dear Jim Bugslag,
I began the thread; and so far only you have picked it up. The short answer is
that we don't have any text or extended paraphrase of the sermon given by the
"Anonimo Predicatore"; but the painting which does figure in my essay is that
attributed by some but not other art-historians to Giotto which may or may not
show Boniface VIII proclaiming the Jubilee. A portion of the fresco survives in
the Lateran;the rest in a copy of a copy of the original work.
