Dear Gary,
I'm not familiar with the painting, bu t it sounds fascinating. If
you are looking for comparable imagery, you might find something in
John Osborne's recent edition of the drawings of medieval antiquities
in the Cassiano dal Pozzo collection. I was in touch briefly, as
well, last spring with a Swiss scholar who has just published a book
on papal imagery in the 13th century; I don't have my records with
me, but I believe his name is Agostino Bagliani Pavavicino. Please
do let us know where your essay is published, when it is.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
