Comment:    Re: SHK 19.0476 An Image in Greenblatt's _Hamlet in Purgatory_

I'm far from my books, so can't give you any particular references, but I think 
the image of blood flowing from the wound in Christ's side into a chalice is 
quite common in late medieval art. You might even find versions of the ironic 
chalice-cauldron semi-homology.
