Der Heilige Rock zu Trier: Studien zur Geschichte und Verehrung der Tunika Christi

This is the standard scholarly reference on the Holy Robe of Trier, a diocese-commissioned collective volume bringing together named historians, art historians and manuscript scholars, among them Michael Embach, a specialist in Trier's medieval manuscripts, to document the relic's history, its veneration and its material and art-historical record across more than a thousand pages. It is the source German-language reference works cite for the robe's earliest secure documentation, its translation into the cathedral's high altar in 1196, and the 1844 pilgrimage that drew half a million visitors and produced Johannes Ronge's public break with Rome. Its strength is documentary breadth across disciplines rather than a single argument; its limit is that it was produced under the diocese's own auspices rather than by a fully independent academic press, so its treatment of the relic's authenticity is not disinterested even where its documentary history is sound. This page's record previously carried a fabricated title, author and publisher matching no real publication; it is corrected here to this real volume, verified against its citation in independent German-language reference sources and against the Diocese of Trier's own published history of the robe, both agreeing on the 1196 and 1844 dates relied on here.
