Description

This scholarly collection examines the veneration of religious relics in Byzantine Constantinople from the late 4th to 10th centuries, when the city housed an extraordinary collection of sacred objects within its churches. The studies investigate how relics were acquired from across the Roman Empire, the theological beliefs surrounding their miraculous powers to protect against enemies and cure illnesses, and the cultural significance of Constantinople as the divinely protected capital. Through rigorous historical analysis, the work explores the methods by which these holy remains and possessions of saints were obtained and integrated into Byzantine religious life, offering insights into medieval devotional practices and the role of relics in shaping religious identity and imperial authority. This Variorum Collected Studies volume brings together essential research for understanding the religious, political and social dimensions of relic veneration in Byzantine civilization.
