SACRED JEWELS.                            325
Frankish conquest of Constantinople. The greater part appear to have been introduced in the ornamentation of the statuettes in gold and silver, and on the reliquaries in other shapes, in devising which the ingenious devotion of the Middle Ages delighted to exert its skill and fancy. A de­scription invaluable to the admirer of mediaeval art, and full of curious details of these riches, drawn up at the time of their greatest splendour, will be found in the old Bene­dictine Dom Doublet's ' Tresor de S. Denys,' published in 1625.
