Inhaltsangabe

This volume contains sixteen articles by international experts from different disciplines touching on various aspects on medieval and early modern cults of saints from different corners of Europe, with a special focus on Scandinavian saints and their
artistic receptions up to modern times. The saints represented different aspects of a Christian world-view forming the basis of communal identities, still present in post-Reformation Europe. Notions of cultural memory underpin several of the studies in
the volume. Moreover, the reader will also find articles concerning the function of saints&; cults, in particular how the material culture of these cults was perceived and experienced by the medieval beholder. The book includes a recording of music from
the Middle Ages up to modern times focusing on saints and the notion of sanctity.
