In this pioneering study, the first of its kind, Galit Noga-Banai
analyses silver reliquaries decorated with Christian figurative
themes. She offers a clearer and more detailed picture of the
beginnings of the cult of relics, which were an essential asset to
the Church in its establishment of pilgrimage centres and local
hagiographic heritage sites, first in Italy and later in other
places around Europe and North Africa. At the same time, Noga-Banai
highlights the identity of the objects as portable art, treating
the reliquaries as visual historical testimonies. The book is
illustrated with nearly 100 finely reproduced drawings and
photographs.
