The actors involved in the traffic of relics at the end of the crusades
This article, under a reticular and typological angle, deals with one of the most constant trades during the medieval period. The traffic of relics involved after the fourth
crusade a considerable number of actors fulfilling the interchangeable functions of
receivers, suppliers and buyers. If the role of clerics and princes is well known in the
establishment of a large exchange network, the role of laymen and confraternities
never received a genuine treatment. However, it appears that the whole European
continent was wishful to acquire relics in the Late Middle Ages for religious, political
and often financial reasons. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
