archives@tulane.edu / The purpose of this project is to consider how medieval devotees experienced a specific set of reliquaries and their holy contents as well the obstacles they faced in doing. By placing these objects in dialogue with contemporary theological discourse on the nature of vision as it relates to access and knowledge of God, I will attempt to reconstruct and identify the meaningful connections one could have formed in the presence of relics and reliquaries. I aim to challenge reductive ways of framing medieval thought and experience by attending to and attempting to understand the experience of the medieval viewer. / 1 / Madeline Brown
