About the work

Furta Sacra (Furta sacra: theft of sacred things) examines the ancient and medieval transgression of sacred relics, sacred spaces, and liturgical objects, revealing how communities shaped memory, authority, and identity through material culture. The full title and ISBN are Furta Sacra (9780691008622).

Summary

The book traces the rise, circulation, and control of sacred artifacts across medieval Europe, highlighting how thefts, recoveries, and redistributions tested ecclesiastical powers and municipal authorities. Through analysis of hagiography, legal codes, and archival records, it uncovers the social networks and political economies that surrounded relics and liturgical items, showing how claims to holiness were negotiated, contested, and legitimized. Geary illuminates the symbolic currency of sacred objects and their role in shaping communal memory and power structures.

About the author

Patrick J. Geary is a distinguished historian renowned for his work on medieval Europe, collective memory, and religious culture. His rigorous interdisciplinary scholarship blends philology, archaeology, and fundamental questions of identity, making Furta Sacra a cornerstone in studies of sacred material culture. Geary’s influential analyses have reshaped our understanding of how communities constructed legitimacy through relics, rites, and the handling of sacred objects.

In brief

The book reveals that the theft and redistribution of sacred items were not merely crimes but pivotal acts that organized power, memory, and authority in medieval society.
