I have been away from my computer for a few days, and so I haven't had a
chance to reply to this, as Laura Jacobus suggested I might. I am afraid
to say that although I am interested in relics of the Virgin's milk, I
don't have any specific information to hand about reliquaries in Italian
collections. I will look through my notes and see if I turn anything up,
and send another post if I have anything useful. I suspect not, sadly.
However, a friend in Florence is completing a Ph.D. on Florentine
reliquaries, and may be able to help. If Sherry Reames (or her friend) would
like to contact me directly, I will be happy to pass on contact details.
