medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Thank you, Matej. I haven't been able to find a reproduction of this reliquary on the Web. Since not everyone will have access to Sergio Tavano's _Grado paleocristiana_ (1980), I might add that this appears in a number of his books, including the exhibition catalogue _Patriarchi. Quindici secoli di civilta' fra l'Adriatico e l'Europa Centrale_, a cura di Sergio Tavano e Giuseppe Bergamini (Milano: Skira, 2000), where it is item IV.5 (two photographs), discussed on pp. 52- 54. To judge from Tavano's bibliography on this object, the fullest recent discussion is that of Luisa Crusvar, "Il Tesoro dei Patriarchi," _Antichita' Altoadriatiche_ 38 (1992; title of this volume: _Storia e arte del patriarcato di Aquileia_), 289-337, esp. pp. 294-302. Tavano dates the reliquary to the end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth century. Since this object is said to be probably of Aquileian manufacture and since Quirinus is one of two saints whose portraits flank the more centrally displayed ones of the Aquileian martyrs Cantius, Cantianus, and Cantianilla, we could have also been discussing it in connection with the saints of 31. May. Thanks to the locations of what have been said to be their relics, C., C., and C. could even have prompted brief excursions to such notable monuments as the ex-cathedral at Hildesheim: http://www.raymond-faure.com/Hildesheim/Hildesheim_Dom/hildesheim- dom.html TinyURL for this: http://tinyurl.com/accpt and to the collegiate church of Notre-Dame du Fort at Etampes: http://www.romanes.com/Etampes/Notre_Dame_du_Fort/ Clever of you to work in Ponte San Quirino as well. For those unfamiliar with the area, the relative locations of this community and nearby San Pietro al Natisone (the one in which the church is located) may be seen here: http://www.natisoneinbici.it/bike/partenze/pontetiglio.html Thanks again, John Dillon On Monday, June 6, 2005, at 8:05 am, Matej Zupancic wrote: > Doctissimi, > John Dillon wrote 5. 6. on St. Quirinus of Siscia and his cult in > Italia.
