Abstract


The parish church of Anglesola in western Catalonia houses a reliquiary of the True Cross, the origins of which have hitherto not been determined. A comparison between three similar cross-reliquiaries and the Vera Creu d'Anglesola proves that the latter was produced in Jerusalem in the second of the twelfth century. The article argues that the cross reached Catalonia via the canons of the Holy Sepulcre, who were not fostered by local nobles but also held a house and a chapel in Anglesola, which was given up shortly before the reliquiary is first mentioned in the records of the parish church.
