Scope and Content

This a file containing authentics, which are certificates of authenticity for relics, for those relics given to Merton. The dates denote the date of certification of the relic by a member of the clergy and not the date given to Merton (some predate his conversion and otherwise seem too early for him to have acquired). In almost all cases, there is no indication of who gave the relic.
