Hagiography in Byzantium: Literature, Social History and Cult Hardback
by Stephanos Efthymiadis
Part of the Variorum Collected Studies series
Hardback
Description
Involving a vast number of texts, saintly heroes and authors, Byzantine hagiography stands out as a field of scholarly research highly rewarding for both the philologist and the historian.
The studies reproduced in this volume cover a chronological range from late antiquity to the Paleologan era.
They bring together annotated editions of specific texts and discussions of their contexts, complemented by comprehensive surveys of saintly and monastic cult.
Having appeared over the last twenty years, they also illustrate and reflect upon the significant development and re-orientation which has marked the study of hagiography in recent decades.
