Abstract

Early Anglo-Saxon Christian Reliquaries presents a corpus and discussion of a group of Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy containers dating to the seventh and possibly eighth centuries, and variously described as work boxes, needle cases, amulet containers or Christian reliquaries. Seventy-one boxes, some incomplete or fragmentary, have been recorded from forty-nine sites across Anglo-Saxon England. A typology, material specification, drawings, design and construction principles are provided, and a nomenclature applicable to these containers is outlined. Catalogue entries give details of site location, description, decorative features and references. Three box types are identified, and a concluding discussion suggests that boxes of Types I and II had a Christian function and should be considered as reliquaries. Type III boxes had a secular function, and their purpose remains enigmatic.

Abstract

Saints, miracles, reliques et reliquaires forment le coeur de cet ouvrage qui renouvelle les connaissances à propos du culte des corps saints. La célébration du 850e anniversaire de la découverte à Rocamadour du corps entier et inaltéré de saint Amadour en 1166 a offert aux archéologues, historiens, historiens de l'art et de la littérature, l'occasion de se réunir pour se rencontrer et reconsidérer la légende du saint ainsi que le culte des reliques, leurs reliquaires et leurs sanctuaires dans le Sud-Ouest de la France du Moyen Age jusqu'à nos jours. L'hagiographie des saints aquitains ainsi que leur iconographie sont mises en exergue afin de replacer le culte de saint Amadour au sein d'une spiritualité bien au-delà de la France méridionale. La relique est un objet complexe qui participe du matériel en tant que corps (ou fragment de corps) comme du spirituel. Elle doit aussi être replacée dans le contexte de sa " dulie ". Installé dans son sanctuaire, dans un reliquaire, sarcophage ou châsse, le corps saint ne se conçoit pas sans lui et s'exprime à travers lui par l'image qu'il offre aux pèlerins qui viennent nombreux le vénérer. Le culte des reliques entraîne de profonds bouleversements dans l'organisation structurelle des églises, devenues les réceptacles du corps saint. De telles pratiques dévotionnelles sont de nos jours au coeur des préoccupations des historiens. La foi, la croyance et le respect ne sont pas les seuls sentiments suscités par les reliques : elles attirent aussi la convoitise et la volonté de les instrumentaliser à des fins sociales et politiques.

Abstract

The cult of saints, their relics, and devotion to their shrines is a phenomenon born in Late Antiquity that durably shaped medieval and modern practices across a broad geographical and cultural area spreading first throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. How was the creation of vessels for the holy remains of saints implemented during a culturally heterogenous period? Indeed, how could boxes of various shapes, sizes, and materials become containers to shelter sacred matter? What materials could be used in reliquaries’ making, and what images should adorn them? And how did reliquaries, with their geographical and social portability, contribute to the translocation of site-bound sanctity and the spread of saints’ and shrines’ networks across the Late Antique world?Tracing the medieval reliquary’s “pre-history”, this volume examines boxes bearing Christian images and patterns made between the fourth to the sixth century ce. It investigates how vessels adorned with images acquired meaning and power, exploring the dynamics of transformation that accompany both the creation of these objects and their long history of reuse, marginalization, and rediscovery.
