Abstract (en)

Investigates the iconography of a window depicting a scene from the Wedding at Cana, previously believed to represent a friendly dispute between Jews and Christians. On the basis of historical evidence about the favored economic and social status of Jews in the Champagne region during the first half of the 13th c., and about the costume typical of Jews, argues that the figures depicted may not be Jews at all; further considers the evidence of non-Jewish heretical practices in Champagne which may be portrayed here. Discusses the christological significance of the Wedding at Cana scenes in the window, as it reflects the church's belief in its own role in salvation. (Appendix discusses the restoration history of the windows).
