medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I'm intrigued by this line from John Dillon's recent posting:
> 2) Autbert of Avranches (d. 725) ... is further said to have proceeded to obtain relics of
M(ichael the Archangel) from his sanctuary on the Gargano peninsula of Apulia ....
Are relics of an angelic beings frequent in these contexts? What is involved?
