Talk:Melisende Psalter

Untitled
An article is only as good as its sources. This article doesn't have any. --64.12.116.132 02:46, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

What are you insinuating? Adam Bishop 05:08, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Well in any case there are now sources :)


 * By the way, the image in this article (my thanks to Blankfaze for uploading it) may not be the Deesis from the psalter...it looks just like it, but the Greek lettering, and the fact that it is missing "Basilius me fecit", makes me suspect it is not the right image. I know I saw the image with Basilius' writing on it in Jaroslav Folda's book, but maybe this image has been altered somehow. I'm not sure. Adam Bishop 00:40, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

A magisterial work
Fantastic article, Adam. My only question is the English saint. Is it St. Swithun or the famous St. Swithin? As for sources, had you not included a bibliography, this would still be head and shoulders above most articles. I think any more detail would probably be clutter or require extensive illustrations that won't be GFDL. Geogre 00:52, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I think they are just alternate spellings - the Barbara Zeitler essay used Swithun, and the actual name of the place seems to be Swithun, according to britannia.com, at least. Adam Bishop 06:24, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)


 * The "-in" form, as in "St Swithin's Day" is more familiar. Excellent entry! Wetman 06:34, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
