medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Jonathan, There are lots of individual studies of thrones, such as Charlemagne's in his Palace Chapel at Aachen, as well as on the Antique type of throne known as a faldstool. A couple of articles, one secular the other ecclesiastical, that might be of help are Francis Wormald, 'The Throne of Solomon and St Edward's Chair', in/ De Artibus Opuscula XL: Essays in Honour of Erwin Panofsky/, ed. Millard Meiss (New York: N.Y. U. Press, 1961), vol. 1, pp. 532-9; vol. 2, pp. 175-7 Matthew Reeve, "A Seat of Authority: The Archbishop's Throne at Canterbury Cathedral," /Gesta/, XLII/2 (2003), 131-42 Cheers, Jim Elukin, Jonathan wrote: > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > Dear listmembers, > > I received generous and helpful advice last year in response to a query > about oaths over relics and bibles.
