I just checked Reau (Iconographie de l'art chretien). The Wurzburg
annunciation is the only one noted as "conception par l'oreille"), but there
is a substantial list of representations of the infant Jesus entering the
body of the Virgin and an interesting essay on the subject in vol,2, part 2,
pp. 190-191. Trudy, I'd be glad to fax the pages to you if you can't put
your hands on the volume easily. Linda
