Recenzii
as a survey of the cult of relics in its earliest forms and an argument about the chronology of its origins, this book will be of interest not only to scholars of late antiquity but to all those interested in relics and their enduring hold on medieval and modern imaginations.
For me, this study is one of the best that has been published in the last decade on the origins of the veneration of relics.
The Beginning of the Cult of Relics is a must read for all scholars working in the fields of late ancient Christian history, art history, archaeology, and material culture studies.
fills a gap by focusing on body relics in late antiquity ... For such further studies his highly recommended book provides a solid and broad basis.
Wisniewski adeptly charts the origin, development, and manifestations of relic thaumaturgy, mostly relying on textual and occasionally also on archaeological sources.
Thematically presented and beautifully written, [Wisniewski] examines the evidence and concludes convincingly. The narrative flow is logical and satisfying, and all this brings unexpected clarity to a subject that could have been obliterated by detail.
