Saint Suaire, fragments de la Vraie Croix, couronne d'épines, clous de la Passion, mais aussi prépuce ou encore dents de lait : depuis la fin du iiie siècle, les reliques du Christ n'ont cessé de peupler l'imaginaire des croyants. La fascination qu'elles exercent nous transporte entre évocation et vénération, à la frontière entre le réel et le merveilleux. Preuves tangibles de l'existence de Jésus face au vide du Sépulcre, elles interrogent les fondements de la perception de la figure du Dieu fait homme. De la quête de leur existence à la volonté d'asseoir leur authenticité, en passant par leur circulation de l'Orient à l'Occident, leur histoire relève d'une épopée fabuleuse, dont Nicolas Guyard, recourant à de nombreuses sources inédites, se fait ici le conteur, depuis la Jérusalem des premiers chrétiens jusqu'aux ostensions du Suaire de Turin. Une véritable enquête entre le matériel et le spirituel au coeur du christianisme occidental. --

The cult of saints, their relics, and devotion to their shrines is a phenomenon born in Late Antiquity that durably shaped medieval and modern practices across a broad geographical and cultural area spreading first throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. How was the creation of vessels for the holy remains of saints implemented during a culturally heterogenous period? Indeed, how could boxes of various shapes, sizes, and materials become containers to shelter sacred matter? What materials could be used in reliquaries’ making, and what images should adorn them? And how did reliquaries, with their geographical and social portability, contribute to the translocation of site-bound sanctity and the spread of saints’ and shrines’ networks across the Late Antique world?Tracing the medieval reliquary’s “pre-history”, this volume examines boxes bearing Christian images and patterns made between the fourth to the sixth century ce. It investigates how vessels adorned with images acquired meaning and power, exploring the dynamics of transformation that accompany both the creation of these objects and their long history of reuse, marginalization, and rediscovery.
