medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Katherine
The Sainte Foy of Conques may be the ideal reliquary
http://www.conques.com/visite11.htm
A marvellous golden statue, chiseled an adorned with gems; a double history,
the martyrdom of Sainte Foy -- latin life, but a provencal too, -- and a
most funny travel of relics (I think Brother Cadfael knew that..).
The provencal life of Sainte Foy adopts the pattern of the french epics,
"laisses assonancees".
enjoy the visit!
Denis
