Holy Treasure and Sacred Song

Relic Cults and Their Liturgies in Medieval Tuscany

Beschreibung

Holy Treasure and Sacred Song explores the complex interplay between relic cults and the liturgy in medieval Tuscany. Drawing on documentary, literary and visual evidence rarely considered together, it reveals that liturgical texts, music, and ritual were integral to the clergy's well-informed promotion of saints buried in their churches.
