Abstract

Gegenstand der Analyse ist der Brauch des Reliquienfests (Heiltumsweisung, ostensio reliquiarum), bei dem die Reliquien einer Kirche öffentlich zur Schau gestellt wurden. Auf der Grundlage von Untersuchungen zu 24 spätmittelalterlichen Reliquienfesten im römisch-deutschen Regnum werden die liturgisch-zeremoniellen Muster dieser Feste und ihre Funktionen, besonders im Bereich des Ablaßwesens und der Herrschaftsrepräsentation (speziell Residenzbildung), dargestellt. The object analyzed here is the custom of the festival of relics (ostensio reliquiarum), at which the relics of a church were publicly displayed. On the basis of an examination of 24 late medieval relic festivals in the Roman-German regnum, the liturgical-ceremonial patterns of these festivals and their functions are presented, especially in the area of the system of indulgences and the representation of governing (especially the formation of residences).

Abstract

"Arising from a conference organised by the British Archaeological Association and held in Oxford, the twenty-three papers in this volume explore the material culture of sanctity in Latin Europe and the Mediterranean between c. 1000 and c. 1220, with a focus on the ways in which saints and relics were enshrined, celebrated and displayed. Reliquary cults were particularly important during the Romanesque period, both as a means of affirming or promoting identity, and as a conduit for the divine. This book covers the geography of sainthood, the development of spaces for reliquary display, the distribution of saints across cities, the use of reliquaries to draw attention to the attributes, and the virtues or miracle-working character of particular saints. Individual essays range from case studies on Verona, Hildesheim, Trondheim and Limoges, the mausoleum of Lazarus at Autun and the patronage of Mathilda of Canossa, to reflections on local pilgrimage, the deployment of saints as physical protectors, the use of imagery where possession of a saint was disputed, island sanctuaries, and the role of Templars and Hospitallers in the promotion of relics from the Holy Land. This book will serve historians and archaeologists studying the Romanesque period, and those interested in material culture and religious practice in Latin Europe and the Mediterranean c.1000-c.1220"--
