So this is a list of resources for Vezelay Abbey… I am just going to cite them, I might use them in my paper if I can find anything about the melting down of the chains. I am curious how that equates. It did not say a annotated bibliography and it said an example would be given but to my knowledge there never was one. So this is what I am doing for now. If it needs to be annotated, I can fix it.

Well, because it feels really awkward not to write something about the articles… It basically gives basic information on the Abbey and a bit about the town. It describes how the person sees it with there eyes.

I am no reader of French but I think this might be due to a church update on the doctrine maybe? I could be entirely wrong. Yeah. I was very very wrong. I google translated the abstract. It does have to do with some previous research of mine. The Gulf War! I love how things overlap. Anyways! On to finding another source! I don’t know though. Maybe it could be how things have changed overtime? Would it work?

This seems to be talking about the founding and the restoration of the abbey. It might talk about the time the Normans destroyed the church. It looks like a similar period of time. It talks about the church invasions of the Holy Lands. Meaning crusades…

Pictures and a little about the history of the town. It talks about the restoration of the church a bit.

Drawing of the abbey. It mentions how the people kept being fined for rising up against the Abbey’s heavy taxes. It also mentions that it was more of a mountain the abbey resides on not a hill and it sort of looked like a fortress. So while the church had many pilgrims is does not seem to be on good terms with people who are within its vicinity a long time.

Iconography of the Abbey.

I think this is the school charter I know in my earlier research it became sort of like partially a school.

IT shows how the cult story relates to other Mary Magdelene cult stories. However, it also shows it did not have a story right away and sort of made one up as they went.

Article about an abbot at the cite. Wondering if he caused any termoil. In French, not a great read through so far.
De BASTARD, Léon. “RECHERCHES SUR L’INSURRECTION COMMUNALE DE VÉZELAY, AU XII E SIÈCLE.” Bibliothèque De L’École Des Chartes 2 (1851): 339-65. Accessed May 12, 2020. http://www.jstor.org/stable/42998124.
The uprising the townspeople caused in Vezelay. I am curious how the people actually interacted with the church there because what I have seen it is not well. So maybe just monks and travelers were really on board with the whole cult?
“THE WALSINGHAM CROSS.” Life of the Spirit (1946-1964) 2, no. 16 (1947): 167-71. Accessed May 12, 2020. http://www.jstor.org/stable/43702898.
Article on how people are still making the journey centuries after the establishment of the church. Interesting because I am pretty sure it would be hard to travel because Germany is occupying most of France to my knowledge when the person said they took their journey in 1942.
Jotischky, Andrew. “Eugenius III and the Church in the Crusader States.” In Pope Eugenius III (1145-1153): The First Cistercian Pope, edited by Jotischky Andrew and Fonnesberg-Schmidt Iben, 341-58. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2018. Accessed May 12, 2020. doi:10.2307/j.ctvqsf3mm.19.
It shows the shift in the abbey at Vezelay. It could be a really good source depending on what angle I am looking at.
There were a variety of sources. I only looked at the English and French ones because I could sort of pick out what the French ones were saying. I think there might have been some German or Swedish ones maybe but I could not understand them at all. So, I did skip over them. They were not the main articles however. They could be important when focusing in. If so, I would take the time to attempt to read them.
