JACOBEAN WEEK

[Delphia Dirks]

Rosina,  I am a (fledgling) iconographer of the Byzantine and Russian style
and would be very interested in  the French Iconography of Santiago, the
Silver Route.   I presume that in speaking of iconography we are talking
about the sacred images 'written' on board/gesso/natural pigments with egg
emulsion?   thanks...  I am evermore determined to get up to speed in
Spanish... am studying daily on with the computer...lots of good sources
there.    thanks for all your interesting contributions to the 'site'.
