With reference to the recent discussion about the Holy Robe of Trier, I
did not see any mention of what must be the most recent book on the
subject. This is:
Der Heilige Rock zu Trier. Studien zur Geschichte und Verehrung
der Tunika Christi. Anlaesslich der Heilig-Rock-Wallfahrt 1996 im Auftrag
des Bischoeflichen Generalvikariates herausgegeben von ERICH ARETZ,
MICHAEL EMBANCH, MARTIN PERSCH und FRANZ RONIG. Trier: Paulinus Verlag 1996.
I do not have the price or the ISBN to hand. It is a very substantial
volume, running to 1047 pages.
Readers may also be interested to know that the British Library
in London has substantial holdings of mid-19th-century publications
relating to the Holy Robe, issued on the occasion of its expostition in 1844.
