Abstract

Constantina, daughter of the fourth-century emperor Constantine who so famously converted to Christianity, deserves a place of her own in the history of Christianity. As both poet and church-builder, she was an early patron of the Roman cult of the virgin martyr Agnes and was buried ad sanctam in a sumptuously mosaicked mausoleum that still stands. What has been very nearly forgotten is that the twice-married Constantina also came to be viewed as a virgin saint in her own right, said to have been converted and healed of leprosy by Saint Agnes. This volume publishes for the first time critical editions and English translations of three Latin hagiographies dedicated to the empress, offering an introduction and commentaries to contextualize these virtually unknown works. The earliest and longest of them is the anonymous Life of Saint Constantina likely dating to the mid or late sixth century, reflecting a female monastic setting and featuring both a story of pope Silvester's instruction of Constantina and a striking dialogue between Constantina and twelve virgins who offer speeches in praise of virginity as the summum bonum. A second, slightly later work, On the Feast of Saint Constantia (the misnaming of the saint reflecting common0confusion), is a more streamlined account apparently tailored for liturgical use in early seventh-century Rome; this text is reworked and expanded by the twelfth-century Roman scholar Nicolaus Maniacoria in his Life of the Blessed Constantia, including a question-and-answer dialogue between Constantina and her two virginal charges Attica and Artemia. These works will be of great interest to students of late ancient and medieval saints' cults, hagiography, monasticism, and women's history.

Abstract

Il presente volume contiene uno studio storico-agiografico sulla Passio Alexandri, Eventii et Theoduli, martiri romani sepolti al settimo miglio della via Nomentana. Il testo, come tutte le passiones simili, costituisce uno dei prodotti più vivi della comunità cristiana antica e un veicolo privilegiato di contenuti specifici, quali il tema dell'autorità vicaria, le catene di S. Pietro e la dottrina sul papato, la città di Roma come percorso culturale, i discorsi catechetici. La prima parte offre un'analisi particolareggiata delle fonti attestanti la presenza dei tre martiri, in particolare Martirologia, Itineraria e Liber Pontificalis. Ci si sofferma quindi sulle coordinate agiografiche, rappresentate dal dies natalis e dal luogo della sepoltura. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato all'analisi del testo con il suo carattere leggendario, i protagonisti, l'autore e la datazione, l'occasione e la finalità. Il terzo e il quarto capitolo contengono lo studio sulla tradizione manoscritta e l'edizione critica del testo, seguita da una traduzione italiana commentata.

Abstract

The present work collects a number of hagiographic documents from the Late Antiquity and early Middle Ages concerning the Sardinian martyrs of the first centuries of the Christian era: Saturninus and Ephysius of Carales, Antiochus of Sulci, Luxorius of Forum Traiani, Gavinus, Protus, and Ianuarius of Turris Libisonis. This volume, which was edited in accordance with modern philological standards by a team of Italian scholars, is also intended to fill a significant gap in the hagiographic studies. Some of these texts, in fact, are presented in their first critical edition. While, on the one hand, an accurate investigation on the Sardinian hagiographic tradition provides a philologically reliable text, on the other hand, it also highlights the existence of significant relationships between Sardinia and the other European countries, especially in the wider circulation of cultural and cultual phenomena. Il volume raccoglie in un unico corpus i documenti agiografici, altomedievali e medievali, relativi ai martiri sardi dei primi secoli: Saturnino ed Efisio di Carales, Antioco di Sulci, Lussorio di Forum Traiani, Gavino, Proto e Gianuario di Turris Libisonis. La pubblicazione di questi testi, editi con gli strumenti rigorosi della filologia, viene a colmare una lacuna negli studi di agiografia e di alcuni di essi si offre qui la prima edizione critica. Inoltre, un’accurata indagine sulla loro tradizione manoscritta ha consentito non solo di disporre di un testo filologicamente affidabile, ma anche di mettere in luce, attraverso la circolazione di fenomeni culturali e cultuali, significative relazioni tra la Sardegna e gli altri paesi europei.

Abstract

Acquis par le musée du Louvre à la fin du XIXe siècle, ces manuscrits furent en partie publiés en 1889. Après la découverte de nouveaux fragments dans les collections du musée à la fin des années 1990, Laurent Capron a pu restaurer, identifier et corriger un ensemble d'une cinquantaine de pages de codex, ici publiées. Il s'est appuyé sur la tradition médiévale pour compléter ces textes.0.

Abstract

Ritter und Heiliger, Krieger und Mönch. Diese beiden Pole bestimmen in der ?Vita Wicberti? das Leben des heiligen Wibert von Gembloux (? 963). Sigebert von Gembloux (? 1112) hat dem Gründer seines Heimatklosters mit diesem Text ein beeindruckendes Denkmal gesetzt. Er verbindet traditionelle Motive der Hagiographie mit dem Phänomen des Rittertums und entwirft im frommen Mönchsritter Wibert etwas ganz Neues. Zum Krieger bestimmt entsagt der Heilige der Gewalt, spendet seinen Besitz der Kirche, gründet Gembloux, wird Mönch und kämpft fortan als Ritter Gottes mit dem Schwert des Glaubens gegen Räuber und Heiden. Die ?Vita Wicberti? ist die erste lateinische Ritterbiographie.0Das Buch versammelt das gesamte hagiographische Œuvre zu Wibert in einer neuen, kritischen Edition.
