• Various archival sources in the Bay of Kotor treasure information on popular religious rituals that were condemned as sinful during 17th and 18th centuries. Throughout the normative literature, such as catechisms and sermons, people susceptible to “sinful madness of magic”were severely criticized. At the same time, veneration of relics and other sacred objects became more carefully supervised, following the posttridentine regulations on practiced religion. The aim of this paper is to propose several examples of “unofficial” piety, emphasizing the flexible border between notions of religion and magic, as well as visual, somatic and verbal features shared between discussed objects and reliquaries in the Bay of Kotor.
