Descripción

292 pages. 8 colour ills., 133 black and white ills. Paperback. cm 19 x 28,5. Collana: Analecta Romana Instituti Danici. Supplementa, 32. During his pontificate in Rome (817-824) Paschal I commissioned the production of an enamelled reliquary gold cross and two silver caskets to contain fragments of the True Cross. Based on his dissertation, Erik Thuno presents a detailed historical and art historical study of the Sancta Sanctorum objects commissioned and of their spiritual, physical, aesthetic and symbolic setting. These objects are also discussed within a wider examination of the spread of the cult of saints and the religious reform movement that saw the acquisition and veneration of relics sweeping across Carolingian Europe.
