Southern Italy's strategic location at the crossroads of the
Mediterranean gave it a unique position as a frontier for the major
religious faiths of the medieval world, where Latin Christian,
Greek Christian and Muslim communities coexisted. In this study,
the first to offer a comprehensive analysis of sanctity and
pilgrimage in southern Italy between 1000 and 1200, Paul Oldfield
presents a fascinating picture of a politically and culturally
fragmented land which, as well as hosting its own important relics
as important pilgrimage centres, was a transit point for pilgrims
and commercial traffic. Drawing on a diverse range of sources from
hagiographical material to calendars, martyrologies, charters and
pilgrim travel guides, the book examines how sanctity functioned at
this key cultural crossroads and, by integrating the analysis of
sanctity with that of pilgrimage, offers important new insights
into society, cross-cultural interaction and faith in the region
and across the medieval world.
