onques faict par mains d’omme terrien.
The treasure of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune has a sard vase from the
1st Century BC, which legendary tradition attributes to being a gift of Saint Martin.
The legend dates back to a little after the middle of the 12th Century and, in all likelihood, was created at the Abbey of Saint-Maurice, at a critical moment of spiritual
renewal for the Abbey, which led to the reorganization of the Abbey’s memory. At
Saint-Maurice, this involved both legal documents, which were “falsified”, and individual pieces in its treasury for which prestigious donors were invented : by calling
on “founders” or “patrons” from the distant past, the Abbey could acquire a longer
history and so carry on as a sacred site. |
