Not that I have the time but here's an idea. A SPARQL query of Wikidata for saints and places could be mapped. Not sure how complete it would be but maybe a start?

Hello Jennifer and list,

 

I worked with a researcher named Anna-Maria Moubayed in Art History and Conservation, who developed a database mapping Romanesque medieval sculpture in churches across Europe. Not sure its relevant since she focused on Eve specifically but imagine that Anna-Maria could be a good person to ask about tracking down saints?


At the following link https://doi.org/10.5683/SP/2Y5C1X - you can find the dataset, field notebooks and a way to contact Anna-Maria the owner of the data. As well as contact information through Concordia University

https://www.concordia.ca/finearts/art-history/faculty.html?fpid=annamaria-moubayed

 

Best of luck with this!

 

Cheers,
Francine

Folks, I have received an interesting query that may be a hard order for anyone to fill, but I offered to toss it out to the greater map-using community and see if anyone knows of resources to help this researcher.  Note her email; you can reply to her directly.

I am working on a book about saint plays from medieval Europe and late nineteenth-century Europe. The medieval plays are rarely associated with manuscripts, so there is mostly anecdotal and economic evidence of them.  

 

I have a dream that there is a map out there (from any time period) that notes the patron saints of European regions—or a map of festivals related to saints. There is a pretty good wiki page about patron saints of places in general (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patron_saints_of_places), but I am hoping to find a map. Any ideas? 

Thank you for any help you can give me!!

--Jennifer
