Description

Explore the complex history of relic theft in Italy across eight centuries with this scholarly examination of religious artefacts from late antiquity through the central Middle Ages. This book traces how relics were stolen, traded, and moved across Italian territories between 300 and 1150, revealing the intersection of religious devotion, political power, and economic value in medieval society. The work analyses the motivations behind relic theft, the methods used to acquire sacred objects, and the profound impact these thefts had on Christian communities and institutional authority. Drawing on documentary evidence and historical sources, the author contextualises these crimes within broader patterns of cultural exchange and conflict in medieval Italy. Essential reading for historians, scholars of medieval Christianity, and anyone interested in how religious material culture shaped European history during this transformative period.
