I hope not, because I've already put in the link :)) Up to now, I only had a small b&w photo, and I love your nice color one, so I wanted to get that out there. I put, "courtesy of Walt S." Or should I put, WCS? Or nothing? or "Master pastry chef de St. Aignan"? or...? :))<BR/><BR/>Hey, speaking of <I>gisant</I>, what would you say is the difference between that and <I>une effigie</I>? Since I believe that those <I>gisants</I> we're talking about have been referred to in English-language things as an <I>effigy</I>, I've always used the French equivalent to that, and not <I>gisant</I>. I'm thinking that <I>effigie</I> is perhaps more general, and would also apply to an effigy that might be on a coin or on a plaque, whereas <I>un gisant</I> would specifically be an effigy in the form of a recumbant statue/sculpture?<BR/><BR/>What do you think?<BR/><BR/>JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-74388824597594292432008-11-20T13:16:00.000+01:002008-11-20T13:16:00.000+01:00Eggs Benedict is named after Benedict Arnold, isn'...Eggs Benedict is named after Benedict Arnold, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>The chapel is being restored.
