Dear all.
I hope I'll not be considered as the instigator of the "Movement for
Independance of Art historians from Medieval-religion"... It's not my
intention. I'm happy to be on Med.Rel. It's so profitable to share with
people from different disciplines.
Dear Katrinette
On your remarks:
I m interested in the question how these relics were collected and which
political and personal contacts made this possible, why these saints were
chosen and so on.
I think you could get some informations in:
M.-L. Chastang, "Quetes et voyages de reliques au profit des eglises
francaises au Moyen Age", Revue d'histoire ecclesiastique, LIX (1964),
789-822, and LX (1965), 5-32.
Patrick J. Geary, "Furta Sacra. Thefts of Relics in the Central Middle Ages"
Princeton, 1978.(Geary discuss on the circulation of relics, social and
economical aspects).
Nicole Herrmann-Mascard, "Les reliques des saints: fomation coutumiere d'un
droit", Paris, Klincksieck, 1975.
Marie-Madeleine Gauthier, "Les routes de la Foi, reliques et reliquaires de
Jerusalem a Compostelle". Fribourg, 1983.
Andre Grabar, "Martyrium. Recherches sur le culte des reliques et l'art

On Saint Quintinus, was he Quint from Tours? Maybe Ellen Shortell could help
you ([log in to unmask]).
