Talk:Medieval popular Bible

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Proposal for deletion

The proposal to delete this article is nonsense. This is an important concept in medieval studies. We can argue about whether the author of the cited work is notable (I think he is) but there can be no argument about the notability of the enormous body of medieval literature (and not only literature) which he and many others are researching. The importance of the Bible for the middle ages is indisputed, but the overwhelming majority of the medieval population had no access to the Bible itself, nor to the Latin exegetical tradition. So most people's world view was shaped by vernacular adaptations which were quite different beasts. This cannot be non-notable - and I think the scholar who created the terminology by which we describe it can also hardly be described as non-notable. However it is true that many other scholars should be named here - this has a long way to grow. --Doric Loon 08:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
