medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A recent work on Henry III's Precious Blood relic and why its cult
failed to establish itself in 13th-c. England:
Nicholas Vincent. The Holy Blood: King Henry III and the
Westminster Blood Relic. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001.
There is a good overiew by R. Grégoire with bibliography s.v. "Sang",
Dictionnaire de Spiritualité 14 (1990): 319-333.
Older but still worthwhile, M.-D. Chenu s.v. "Sang du Christ",
Dictionnaire de Théologie Catholique 14, pt. 1 (1939): 1094-1097. --

> In an article by Eamon Duffy on devotoin to Crucifixes in the Late MA, I ran across a reference to

> Can anyone provide additional details about the feast, relics (if any), and locations where the Precious
> Blood would be particularly likely to be venerated?
