Um, *that* was a throwaway line, and meant to amuse. This is Mary of Egypt: http://www.wga.hu/html/m/memling/3mature1/17rein4.html (right side) See, no implications for costume study there. (Interestingly, the woman on the left is St. Wilgifortis, whom I do use in the lecture, as she owes her existence to an error of costume interpretation. But that's one of the better examples in the lecture, and I don't wish to spoil it here.) --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
