Per una storia del museo sacro cristiano
L'articolo si propone di descrivere alcuni importanti casi di musei sacri cristiani dalla tarda antichità all'età contemporanea, al fine di tracciare la storia di questa istituzione e individuare i concetti chiave che ne stanno alla base. Il confronto diacronico parte dalla donazione di libri e oggetti liturgici da parte di Sant'Agostino alla sua chiesa episcopale (fine del IV secolo), per poi passare al Medioevo - quando l'idea di musei sacri cr…
