Description

Explore a unique perspective on Saint Thomas Aquinas through his posthumous impact on medieval culture. In "The Restless Corpse," Marika Rasanen examines the connection between Aquinas's physical remains and the devotional practices they inspired during the Late Middle Ages. This study moves beyond the man himself to look at how his relics functioned as a source of both conflict and cult. This book investigates how the presence of Aquinas was felt by medieval spectators, even when his actual physical remains were not nearby. By looking at verbal, pictorial, and allegorical recreations of his relics, the text explains how these extended manifestations were perceived as being just as real as the bones themselves. It provides a deep look into how the material presence of his remains shaped religious experience and historical tension. Part of the "Crossing Boundaries: Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies" series, this work is an essential resource for those studying European medieval history and religious studies.
