Furta Sacra: Thefts of Relics in the Central Middle Ages - Revised Edition
Patrick J. Geary
To obtain sacred relics, medieval monks plundered tombs, avaricious merchants raided churches, and relic-mongers scoured the Roman catacombs. This title considers the social and cultural context for these acts, asking how the relics were perceived and why the thefts met with the approval of medieval Christians.
