Thomas Aquinas`s Relics as Focus for Conflict an – The Restless Corpse: Crossing Boundaries: Turku Medieval and Early Modern Studies
Autor Marika Räsänenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 feb 2017
This book offers a new way of looking at Saint Thomas Aquinas—not as a living man, but as a posthumous source of relics. Marika Räsänen delves deep into the strange relationship between Aquinas’s physical remains and the devotional moments they enabled—in many cases in situations where the actual relics were not even present, but were only re-created verbally, pictorially, or allegorically. Both the actual relics and these extended manifestations of them, Räsänen shows, were equally real to the medieval spectator, though the question of the material presence of Aquinas’s remains became increasingly important over time amid the political tumult of southern Italy.
