medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I looked at the major decretal collections, as published; and none
makes reference to the gospels or relics.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Dear Colleagues,
I am beginning a project on how medieval people took oaths. We know,
of
course, that they either swore oaths over Gospel books or over relics.
I am
interested in studying the interrelationship of these two practices.
Did one
take precedence over the other? Were certain oaths taken over the
Gospels
and others over relics? Was there a chronology where oaths over
Scripture
displaced oaths over relics? I would be grateful for any suggestions
of
scholarly works touching on this issue or of references to accounts of
oath
taking involving either the Gospels or relics. Many thanks in advance
for
any help or guidance.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Elukin
