Studies on the Cult of Relics in Byzantium up to 1204 - Variorum Collected Studies
John Wortley
Constantinople was well known in its heyday for the enormous collection of relics housed in its churches: bones, even whole bodies and intimate possessions of holy men and women. This title examines the means by which relics were acquired, the ways in which they were used and some of the reasons why for so long they were believed to be effective.
