description Many pilgrims from the late Middle Ages recounted their pilgrimage, describing their visits to the relics along their route and how they were shown to them. Based on texts written between 1460 and 1520, this paper analyses the different ways in which this monstration was taking place, publicly, at fixed times, or occasionally, on the pilgrims’ query. The displayed relics appear as body-images, whose visibility is organized by the institutions. However, rather than their appearance, pilgrims describe principally the way the relics were displayed, by whom and where, with which kind of adornment, the impression they created to the crowd and to themselves. Therefore, a display is organized around the relic, including objects, acting bodies, and society that is displayed with it.
