| Summary: | Klappentext: Cults of saints lay at the heart of religion during the Middle Ages just as the relics of saints lay in the physical heart of churches across Europe. This book presents fifteen papers, plus an introduction, delivered at a conference at Leicester University in 1999, which reflect a recent revival in interest in the sanctity of the past. The contributors propose areas for future study and highlight the sources that are available. In particular the studies examine saints' cults and pilgrimage sites in the Netherlands, Transylvania, Germany and England as well as discussing evidence from Iceland, Egypt and North America. The book concludes with case studies that consider medieval Finnish churches and altars and dedications in England, Wales and Catalunya. |
