I've changed "From the second half of the seventh century, direct depictions of a "Risen Christ" can be seen in Western art.[7]" - I've seen the ref, & I'm pretty sure what he means here is scenes such as "Noli me tangere" etc, rather than Christ rising from the tomb, standing on top of it etc. If there are any of those that early, & I think my reading would have unearthed them, they must be very rare indeed. Most sources date such "direct" images as first appearing in the 2nd Millenium, admittedly at variable dates. Johnbod (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That idea was hovering in my mind, but I had not gotten around to doing anything about it. When I first wrote that it was a fact by itself, and the article was just getting started, as other material was unearthed, seemed to over-rule that. And we must remember that people can write these things, and they can even make errors anyway. So I think you are right. History2007 (talk) 07:41, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
