    Please help me identify this old carving

    A regional assignment for this time is difficult. I saw something similar in Soignies (Belgium). The work may have come from the Franco-Flemish region (Belgium or northern France).

    Please help me identify this old carving

    17th or early 18th century, possibly from a Baroque choir stall. A beautiful piece.

    Santiago artist who makes custom souvenir certificates

    That also has a tradition. In the 1950s and 1960s, the photographer Ksado (Luís Casado Fernández) had a studio in Santiago, where you could have a high-quality artistic commemorative portrait made. Even today, several photographers offer their services, some more touristy with rollup and...

    Photography equipment?..

    I know a professional photographer who walked the Camino with a homemade camera obscura. He didn't have any problems with weight or safety, at most with rain, since he built the camera in a shoe box. https://ueberlicht.de/2011/ausstellung-caminobscura-guenter-derleth-sven-nieder/

    Small digital camera

    I've been using the Samsung EX1 since eleven years, which is no longer available. Today I would buy a Sony RX 100 III.

    Better Organization needed for distributing Compostelas!

    The problem was that the pilgrims spent a lot of time waiting in line at the pilgrim office, which they could have used to see the city. The number system certainly helps, even if it opens up other difficulties. Because not everyone has a smartphone. But the previous states had become...

    Buying Meindl boots along the Camino?

    Years ago I´ve seen boots of Meindl, Lowa and Hanwag at Corte Inglés in Pamplona.

    Offering a university course, suggestions for topics to include?

    My advice is: Start from your own scientific field and develop from this the subjects of your course of lectures. Greetings Christoph

    Historical novels based on the Camino?

    Brother Jacob by the Danish author Henrik Stangerup. It is about Jacob the Dacian, a franciscanian monk and pilgrim of the 16th century.

    New Certificate of Distance offered by the Pilgrims' Office

    Very interesting is the part of the document, which is written in latin. There we can read, that the cathedral is open 24 hours a day. Greetings Christoph

    813, the solution to the Tree of Jesse?

    No, it is not historically correct . The exact year of the invention of the grave is not known, but it is certain that it wasn´t before 818. For the year 813 there is no basis. To your idea: There is such a sculpture already, the big wooden seat figure of Saint James in the Capilla mayor. In...

    813, the solution to the Tree of Jesse?

    Why 813? The predecessor on Theodemar as a bishop of Iria, Quendulfus, was still alive in 818. Look at this: R.A. Fletcher: Saint James's Catapult. The Life and Times of Diego Gelmírez of Santiago de Compostela, Oxford 1984, Chapter 3: http://libro.uca.edu/sjc/sjc3.htm Greetings Christoph

    The Cathedral of Santiago faces its first major rehabilitati

    Thank you for the interesting articles, Sil and Miguel. I hope, they will take the money for the restoration and not for the marketing of the cathedral. The cathedral chapter can market only things which it can also show. And now the restoration is necessary, not only in three or five years...

    The Cathedral of Santiago faces its first major rehabilitati

    However, this is not more than just a legend. The last that we hear about Matteo is the inscription on the underside of the lintel in the Pórtico de la Gloria from 1188. How long he still lived afterwards, is as unknown as the question whether he has been only the Magister operis (master...

    Portico de la Gloria Tour

    Hello Theo, it is not an old custom. He is known only since the middle of the 19th century in connection with the holy year of 1852. Since spring 2008 it is not permitted any more on account of the damages which were thereby caused. Greetings Christoph

    Thinking of writing a book about your camino?

    There really exists a story of an undead pilgrim in the Liber Sancti Jacobi. It is a miracle about a young pilgrim, who kastrated and killed himself, because the devil betrayed him. The virgin Mary gave him back his life, but not the other thing he lost. :wink: Many greetings Christoph
