Fragments of late antique silk textiles are often preserved as wrappings for relics, yet only rarely do original fabrics survive as relics in their own right. The Church of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan preserves an exceptional example: the remains of a silk garment venerated since the fifth or sixth century as the dalmatic of Saint Ambrose, the renowned bishop and church father. Together with a second, slightly later dalmatic, the textile has been repeatedly reinforced and protected over the centuries, creating a remarkable assemblage of fifteen historic fabrics that document more than eight centuries of devotion. This volume presents the results of a major interdisciplinary conservation and research project devoted to this extraordinary “textile archive.” Bringing together specialists in archaeology, art history, church history, Islamic studies, chemistry and digital heritage technologies, including advanced 3D laser scanning, the study examines the preservation, reconstruction and historical significance of the textiles. Through the analysis of these unique relics, the volume offers new perspectives on textile production, relic veneration, conservation practices and the material culture of Christianity from Late Antiquity through the medieval period.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Precious fragments of late antique silk fabrics are well known as wrappings for relics - but not as relics themselves. Only rarely can we prove the veneration of, for example, a saint's garment based on an original fabric. However, this is possible in the Church of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan. Here, many remains are preserved of a silk garment, which has been venerated since the 5th or 6th centuries as the dalmatic of the famous bishop and church teacher Ambrose. Like a second, slightly younger dalmatic, this textile relic has been lined and covered with protective fabrics over the centuries so that a total of 15 historical fabrics form the common thread running through the first 800 years of Bishop Ambrose's veneration.The results of this latest long-term conservation and research project are now being presented. Sixteen researchers from the fields of archaeology, art history, church history, Islamic studies, chemistry, and the latest 3D laser scanning technology provide insight into the conservation and reconstruction of this 'textile archive.' 304 pp. Englisch.
