St. Martin and his Hagiographer : History and Miracle in Sulpicius Severus Hardback
by Clare Stancliffe
Part of the Oxford Historical Monographs series
Hardback
Description
The Life of St Martin by Sulpicius Severus was one of the formative works of Latin hagiography.
Yet although written by a contemporary who knew Martin, it attracted immediate criticism.
Why? This study seeks an explanation by placing Sulpicius works both in their intellectual context, and in the context of a church that was then undergoing radical transformation.
It is thus both a study of Sulpicius, Martin, and their world, and at the same time an essay in the interpretation of hagiography.
