Synopsis

This volume brings together contributions of teachers, peers, friends and students of Janneke Raaijmakers, who died in 2021 at age 48, to honour her life and academic accomplishments. Janneke Raaijmakers was an eminent early medieval scholar who studied the history of religious communities, the cult of saints, the veneration of relics and material culture particularly in the Carolingian world. Almost all chapters engage with different aspects of Janneke Raaijmakers's research. The book is divided in four thematic sections: Saints, Relics, Community, and Memory.
