The Transferal of the Relics of St. Augustine of Hippo from Sardinia to Pavia in the Early Middle Ages


Book Description

This text examines the transferral's historical contexts and assesses the tradition's historical authenticity. It also examines photographic reproductions of scenes from two major art works which depict the transferral - the 14th-century marble sculpture of the Arca di Sant'Agostino in S. Pietro in Ciel d'Oro, and paintings from an anonymous late 15th-century South German, Vita Sancti Augustini.
