This is just a random list of titles dealing with the subject.
Weinstein and Bell might have a catalogue of relics in their _Saints and
Society_.
A very thorough German study on the subject has been provided by
Angenendt, Arnold, Heilige und Reliquien: die Geschichte ihres Kultes vom
frühen Christentum bis zur Gegenwart. München, 1994.
Enjoy,

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Firstly - I'm not a specialist in this field (but with an archaeological
training) so apologies if my question seems completely naive...
My queries are as follows:
* Can anyone provide me with references - academic papers through to more
synthetic texts - for studies on relics of the Saints (historical,
archaeological, ethnographic, socialogical, whatever....)?
* Tell me whether there has been any (successful?) attempt to catalogue
relics - either for particular countires or on a pan-European basis and/or
for particular categories of relic or for particular saints?
For the record the query is one of personal interest prompted by recent
travels in Italy and Spain.
Many thanks
Alex
