[This] is a superb book, original and immaculate in scholarship, elegant in style and though. -- R. I. Moore, Times Higher Education Supplement, "Geary is at his best in unraveling the tangled accounts of individual thefts to suggest the reasons for their occurrence and in describing the central role of saints and their relics in this age. His exposition of the medieval view that saints resided with and participated actively in the affairs of the communities possessing their relics is essential to understanding the function of saints in this society and the desire of communities to steal or, as he argues, to 'kidnap' them."-- John M.
