Printed relic books represent, both by image and text, precious reliquaries, which were presented to the faithful audience during special liturgical feasts, the display of relics. This study brings into focus the specific aesthetics of these relic books and explores the immense influence that patrons had on figuration as well as on the forms of these books. The analysis focuses on the interaction of image and text as manifestation of authenticity. This book then contributes to clarifying the complex medial role of printing with movable type in its early period and offers a novel interpretation of the cultural significance of artefacts in the Renaissance"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLibrary of the written word ;$vVolume 85. 606 $aRelic books 606 $aBooks and reading$zEurope, German-speaking$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBooks and reading$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aRelic books. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a002 700 $aCárdenas$b Livia$01604486 702 $aSimon$b Anne 801 0$bCaPaEBR 801 1$bCaPaEBR 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816085903321 996 $aThe texture of images$93929351 997 $aUNINA
