Re: VMs: The strange jug images

Hi Philip,

 

I have been reading the Vulgate over the past year (still have some way to go yet) and remember in III Regum (which is the first book of Kings in the English version) a lot of references to capitella, capitals, etc in chapter 7 describing the building of Solomons temple,

 

Regards,

Brett
