Abstract
Looking closely at objects in Rudolf II’s Kunstkammer in Prague (1577-1612) reveals the complex interactions between religion and the natural world. The coconut shell, rhinoceros horn and bezoar stone that made up a liturgical cup in the collection were thought to protect against poisonous liquids and its inscription with a psalm drew attention to the notion of ‘thirsting’ for God. Text or images could make references to religion, but sometimes beliefs were lodged within the material. Similarly, precious stones were considered to represent divine power. This chapter examines these meanings of materiality in so-called ‘religious objects’ at the Habsburg court.
仔细观察鲁道夫二世(Rudolf II)的《布拉格艺术》(Kunstkammer in Prague, 1577-1612)中的物品，就会发现宗教与自然世界之间复杂的相互作用。在收藏中，由椰子壳、犀牛角和牛黄石组成的礼拜杯被认为可以防止有毒液体的侵害，而上面的诗篇则引起了人们对上帝“渴望”的关注。文字或图像可以提到宗教，但有时信仰也存在于材料中。同样，宝石被认为是神圣力量的象征。本章探讨了在哈布斯堡宫廷所谓的“宗教物品”中物质性的这些含义。
