medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
thanks, Genevra, for the clarification...
to my surprise, i found the Carsten article** on books.google.com (lacking 6
pages, but including the photographs):

> The queen's relics were translated from grave to reliquary in 833. No early
reliquary is preserved....The fabric's exceptional state of preservation...is
one major argument against it ever having been in contact with the body
itself. Indeed, the article that I mentioned in my original post...suggests
that the textile never actually served as clothing, but was rather produced at
Balthild's death c.680 (perhaps to be draped over her) as part of an effort to
institute her cult at Chelles.
well, whatever the circumstances, it certainly looks to me to be in "mint"
condition.
