Medieval icons





I shall need a certain amount of time to see and show how medieval iconography, with its subjects, themes and archetypes borrowed from sacred authors, is the major source for things as different (but are they ?) as tarot cards or Lord of the Rings and Da Vinci Code’s favourite places and plots … Examples follow. See here some Cena's Magdalene.

See also that Bible people of those times did love braids, knots ans quintefoils, were they christians, irish monks, jews or muslims.

Some of you readers might like to give me hints - my only source for now is “turning the pages” offered by the British Library.
