medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Take a look at what happened to all remains that could
be retrieved at Saint-Denis by the revolutionaries to
get an idea of the lengths to which people will go to
torment folks beyond their reach. Digging up the dead,
whether saintly or profane, to inflict even more
torment on them is all too common. Emmett (sp?)
Kennedy's _A Cultural History of the French
Revolution_ and two fairly recent books in French
detail these profanations. For French titles, contact
me off list. [log in to unmask]
Happy New Year,
