"This beautifully illustrated volume examines the cult of sacred relics in Baroque Malta in greater depth than ever before. It traces the origins of relic veneration and their arrival to Malta with the Knights of Order of St. John. The book discusses the importance of the reliquaries as an artistic expression of devotion to the holy remains, and the cult they instilled in the community that felt the need to reach to the divine in moments of great turbulence."--From backcover

Images and relics were central tools in the process of devotional practice in medieval Europe. The reliquary tabernacles that emerged in the 1340s, in the area of Central Italy surrounding the city of Siena, combined images and relics, presented visibly together, within painted and decorated wooden frames. In these tabernacles the various media and materials worked together to create a powerful and captivating ensemble, usable in several contexts, both in procession and static, as the centre of focussed, prayerful attention. This book looks at Siena and Central Italy as environments of artistic invention, and at Sienese painters in particular as experts in experimentation whose ingenuity encouraged the development of this new form of devotional technology. It is the first full-length study to focus in depth on the materiality of these tabernacles, investigating the connotations and effects of the materials from which they were made. It examines especially the effect of bringing relics and images together, and considers how the impressions of variety and abundance created by the multiplication of materials give birth to meaning and encourage certain kinds of action or thought.
