Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Treatise of Garcia of Toledo, also known as Tractatus Garsiae Tholetani canonici de Albino et Rufino or The Translation of the Relics of Saints Gold and Silver, was an 11th-century treatise directed against the corruption of the Roman curia. Describing the continuous feasting of the Pope, his cardinals, and his curia, the Treatise is essentially a satirical description of the actual historical visit of Bernard de Sedirac, Archbishop of Toledo, to Rome in May 1099. In the Treatise, Bernard de Sedirac, thinly disguised as the churchman "Grimoard," travels to Rome to offer to Urban II the relics of Saints "Albinus and Rufinus" in exchange for the legateship of Aquitaine. Albinus and Rufinus are not saints at all, but silver and gold, respectively a medieval joke for bribery.
