The scholarly output on this topic since Duffy's work is vast and it would be foolish to attempt a list of relevant titles here. A relatively recent volume of Studies in Church History is devoted to this very question: see Kate Cooper and Jeremy Gregory (eds), Popular and Elite Religion: Studies in Church History 42 (Woodbridge: Boydell and Brewer, 2006). More recently still, Euan Cameron's Enchanted Europe: superstition, reason and religion, 1250–1750 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010) is also worthy of note. 4 For this argument in greater detail see Salvador Ryan, 'The most contentious of terms: towards a new understanding of late medieval "popular religion" ', Irish Theological Quarterly 68:3 (2003). 5 Edmund Hogan, Distinguished Irishmen of the sixteenth century (London: Burns and Oates, 1894), pp 326–327. For a fascinating and very readable introduction to saints' relics in the Middle Ages see Charles Freeman, Holy Bones, Holy Dust: how relics shaped the history of medieval Europe (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2011). 6 This was water in which relics of Francis Xavier or Ignatius Loyola had been placed, thus imbuing it with miraculous properties. See Trevor Johnson, ' Blood, tears and Xavier-Water: Jesuit missionaries and popular religion in the eighteenth-century Upper Palatinate', in Robert Scribner and Trevor Johnson (eds), Popular religion in Germany and Central Europe, 1400–1800 (Basingstoke: Palgrave, 1996) 183–202. 7 Kathryne Beebe, ' Elite and popular experience of the Jerusalem pilgrimage', in Kate Cooper and Jeremy Gregory (eds.), Elite and Popular religion, 106. 8 Kathryne Beebe, ' Elite and popular experience of the Jerusalem pilgrimage', in Kate Cooper and Jeremy Gregory (eds.), Elite and Popular religion, 106 9 ' Bishop Hugh of Lincoln's devotion to relics (1186–1200)', in John Shinners (ed.), Medieval Popular Religion, 1000–1500: a Reader (Peterborough, Ontario: Broadview Press, 1999), 176–177. 10 ' Relics at Durham cathedral (1383)', in Shinners (ed.), Medieval Popular Religion, 195–200. 11 Nollaig Ó Muraíle (ed.), Turas na dTaoiseach nUltach as Éirinn: from Ráth Maoláin to Rome: Tadhg Ó Cianáin's contemporary narrative of the journey into exile of the Ulster chieftains and their followers, 1607–8 (Rome: Pontifical Irish College, 2007). 12 The Spanish captain added '… which she was, in like manner as Mahomet'.
