Excerpt from Italian Influences
The journey of the saint from Constantinople to Corfu was a far ruder one. The piety of the Byzan tine Emperors had collected ih the capital of East ern Christendom nearly all the important relics of the Early Church. Some were perhaps fictitious many, such as they might be, were undoubtedly genuine. What was thought the most valuable booty of the Crusaders when they took Constan tinople was the quantity of relics and holy objects which they obtained, which they sent home as gifts without price. From this source came nearly all the relics of the Passion now in Western Europe, and most of those relating to the Saviour or the Virgin. Their authentic history from that date may be traced in the documents published by the Comte de Riant. In some cases the Greeks suc ceeded in concealing the true relics, and the Latins took only what had been cleverly substituted; in others a forgery was made after the evacuation of the city, for the benefit of the Greeks. When the Turks came, two and a half centuries later, some relics escaped the conqueror, others were destroyed.
