Thanks for the clarification, VVIews, that's quite illuminating. This ties in to the fluidity between bathing- and adult baptism architecture.
I had come across the Tunis examples before, but in the context of this thread I see them in a new light. Really all of the "pool pages" pools tread a fine line between architectural and natural feature.
About the MS image I posted, the Morgan page is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
The image shows the apostle Bartholomew converting the Armenian king. Bartholomew "is said to have been martyred for having converted Polymius, the king of Armenia, to Christianity. Enraged by the monarch’s conversion, and fearing a Roman backlash, king Polymius’s brother, prince Astyages, ordered Bartholomew’s torture and execution, which Bartholomew courageously endured." (Wiki)
In other accounts, Bartholomew travels to Turkey and India, and he's still big in Armenia.
One thing I find puzzling is the Morgan description: "Bologna, Italy, or Hungary". That's like... "golden retriever (dog) or horse".
