Mystical Beauty and Spiritual Mayhem,
By saint eyebeat "eyebeat" (knoxville, tn United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Medieval Cult of Saints: Formations and Transformations (Paperback)
This is a strikingly beautiful book that discusses the history of the cult of saints in Medieval Europe. In a largely illiterate world various saints were championed by their follwers largely through the use of visual media. This book brings together for the first time all of the medieval hoopla associated with this phenomenon in a fascinating and highly informative text. Like NFL fans today, fans of various saints carried on public campaigns cheering their favorite saint, collecting funds to purchase relics and displaying visual stories in public venues telling the miraculous story of their saintly guy or gal.
