The chapters on Luminalia and Salmacida Spolia focus on the relation between Henrietta Maria's masques and her religion.
However, hers fit a broader tradition of reuse, one in which materials, deliberately or not, create new artistic and cultural markers (think spolia in Rome: architectural elements salvaged for things like Cosmati floors).
Among the topics are vision, Gregory the Great and image theory, the concept of spolia, art and exegesis, the monstrous in medieval art, and art and pilgrimage.
