Book Synopsis Finer Than Gold by : James Robinson
Book excerpt: "The miracle-working relics of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the saints--their body parts and items owned or touched by them--were the crowd-pullers of the medieval period. In an age of great faith, Christian pilgrims flocked to the shrines seeking remedies for all manner of bodily, spiritual and material concerns.... Focusing on the British Museum's outstanding collection of reliquaries, Finer than Gold offers a richly illustrated introduction to the medieval cult of relics."--Back cover.
