商品簡介
The 27 essays of this ambitious volume cover a number of places, shrines, saint's cults, and sacred architecture, yet they maintain a coherent focus through the central theme of pilgrimage. The papers are grouped into 7 sections, on topics that include the pilgrim's real and imagined journey, iconography, the symbol of Jerusalem, souvenirs, politics, and cult practice. Among the saints and sites considered are Thomas Becket, the shrines to Charlemagne and Mary in Aachen, host-miracle churches in Germany, St. Athelthryth's cult in 13th-century England, the Chartreuse de Champmol, the church of Neuvy-Saint-Sepulchre, Canterbury Cathedral, and reliquaries of the True Cross. Volume Two contains 348 photos and illustrations in good quality b&w plates. Blick (art history, Kenyon College, US) and Tekippe (art history, State U. of West Georgia, Carrollton) began gathering scholars to contribute to this collection while hosting a series of sessions at the International Congress of Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo, Michigan.
