This book offers a new way of looking at Saint Thomas Aquinas-not as a living man, but as a posthumous source of relics. Marika Rsnen delves deep into the strange relationship between Aquinas's physical remains and the devotional moments they enabled-in many cases in situations where the actual relics were not present, but were recreated verbally, pictorially, or allegorically. Both the actual relics and these extended manifestations of them, Rsnen shows, were equally real to the medieval spectator, though the question of the material presence of Aquinas's remains became increasingly important over time amid the political tumult of southern Italy.

"[A] lively book that abounds with fascinating detail. It is important reading for anyone interested in Aquinass cult or wanting a new perspective on his significance for Dominican corporate self-identity, and those seeking insight into the role of materiality in late medieval religious culture." - Antonia Fitzpatrick, St Johns College, Oxford, *The English Historical Review*, Volume 134, June 2019
