Magnificent
Corpses: Searching Through Europe for St. Peter's Head, St. Claire's Heart, St. Stephen's
Hand, and Other Saintly Relics
by Anneli Rufus
Travel with Anneli Rufus as she visits St. Anthony's jawbone, shriveled tongue, and vocal
cords. Critically acclaimed author Rufus weaves a hair-raising travelogue out of 28 visits
to garlanded skulls, disembodied hands, and fully clad mummies in towns and villages
across Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, England, and France.
Each tale is a literary gem as well as a wonderment of miracles attributed to the living
saints and their corporeal remains. St. Anthony was known as an impassioned preacher and
miracle maker during his life; after his death in 1231 his tomb was repeatedly reopened
for relics. At one point, his tongue was reported to still be living and was placed on
display. In 1981, his vocal cords were found still fresh!
Incredible reports like these and the high quality of Rufus's narrative craftsmanship win
"Magnificent Corpses" my vote for the most entertaining metaphysical read of the
summer.
