Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

Epiphany


To celebrate today's feast of the Epiphany here are the late medieval western depictions of the story of the visit of the Magi from a post by John Dillon on the Medieval Religion discussion group. I have chosen these because the Epiphany has produced so many images over the centuries that John's post would be too long to reproduce in extenso, and also reflecting my own particular interest in the later middle ages. The images can be seen in a larger size by clicking on the links at the bottom right

Scenes attributed to Giovanni da Modena in his early fifteenth-century frescoes (c. 1410) in the cappella Bolognini of Bologna's basilica di San Petronio:

St Martin


Today is the feast of St Martin of Tours, the first non-martyr to have a recognised cult, and a very popular saint in the middle ages - as is indicated by the wide distribution of the images below.

On the Medieval Religion discussion group Gordon Plumb posted the following stained-glass depictions of St Martin:

St Denis and his companions


Today is by tradition the feast of the mid-third century Bishop of Paris St Denis and his companions in martyrdom SS. Rusticus of Paris and Eleutherius of Paris. For his life and cult, and for details which explain some of the images which follow see the online account at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis

Nowadays here in the Birmingham Archdiocese this is, of course, the feast of Bl.John Henry Newman, so St Denis and his companions, together with St John Leonardi, are commemorated on October 8th.


The Medieval Religion discussion group yielded a fine crop of images. Gordon Plumb posted some stained glass depictions:
