Few medieval images are as iconic, or as challenging, as the life-sized sculptural
crucifixes that emerged in the Holy Roman Empire at the end of the tenth century.
Striking at the fundamental mysteries of Christianity -- the idea of a God made flesh,
who died on the Cross and was resurrected after three days -- these objects were made
to attract attention and inspire veneration, and they exist in uneasy tension with
medieval anxieties about idolatry and the cult of images. This volume presents new
research on the Boston Crucifix, the earliest medieval crucifix in North America and
one of the most significant examples of the genre, in dialogue with new directions
in this field as a whole. Essays on the history, theology, style, condition, and provenance
of early wood crucifixes are presented here together for the first time in a format
that is intended as a major scholarly resource, but will also prove accessible to
students and non-specialists who are curious about the origins of monumental crucifixes
in the High Middle Ages
