Living Icons is the first book to explore the emergence and function of a novel pictorial format in the Middle Ages, the vita icon, which displayed the magnified portrait of a saint framed by scenes from his or her life. The vita icon was used for depicting the most popular figures in the Orthodox calendar and, in the Latin West, was deployed most vigorously in the service of Francis of Assisi. This book offers a compelling account of how this type of image embodied and challenged the prevailing structures of vision, representation, and sanctity in Byzantium and among the Franciscans in Italy between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. Through the lens of this format, Paroma Chatterjee uncovers the complexities of the philosophical and theological issues that had long engaged both the medieval East and West, such as the fraught relations between words and images, relics and icons, a representation and its subject, and the very nature of holy presence.

Building upon recent scholarly interest in mystics and mysticism in late medieval Europe, this book explores the visual representation of female and male saints depicted as brides or bridegrooms of Christ in northern European art from 1300 to 1550. The mystic marriage imagery of St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Agnes of Rome, St. John the Evangelist, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and the Blessed Henry Suso is studied through an analysis of a wide range of paintings, illuminated manuscripts, prints, and sculpture. From these case studies, Muir argues that different visual conventions were used in the art of this period to portray the male and female experiences of mystic marriage and suggests possible reasons for these differences. She further considers why comparatively few mystics were visually portrayed in a mystic marriage with Christ, despite the large number recorded as having had that experience. Providing insights into the meanings of the mystical experience when portrayed in visual terms, this book will appeal to art historians as well as to other medievalists with an interest in the intersections of art, religion, and gender.

L'histoire des saints a toujours attiré un large public et a connu un vaste essor dès l'époque mérovingienne. Si le « genre hagiographique » est aujourd'hui quelque peu décrié, il n'en a pas toujours été ainsi. Qu'elles soient utilisées dans la liturgie ou pour l'édification des fidèles, les légendes hagiographiques, « Passions » des martyrs et "Vies et miracles" des saints, constituent une source historique de premier ordre pour l'historien de la sainteté certes, de l'Église médiévale, mais aussi de la société, de la culture, de la vie quotidienne... C'est même une des sources essentielles de l'histoire du haut Moyen Age occidental. Cependant, il n'est pas toujours facile de se débrouiller dans la masse des textes conservés. La "Bibliotheca hagiographica latina", publiée par les « bollandistes », jésuites spécialisés depuis le XVIIe siècle dans l'étude des vies de saints, compte plus de 9000 numéros... et elle ne recense que les textes latins imprimés. Il faut y ajouter les récits en langue vulgaire et les inédits, encore nombreux. Les instruments de travail existent, certains datant même du XVIIe siècle, tels les "Acta sanctorum". De nombreux points de méthode ont été étudiés au fil des années, mais encore faut-il connaître tous ces ouvrages, et faire un certain tri dans ce qui est ancien mais toujours utile, récent mais dépassé, ou sans intérêt pour l'historien, domaine où le meilleur côtoie le pire. Cet ouvrage a été conçu pour répondre à deux attentes. Il initiera ceux qui veulent aborder la littérature hagiographique médiévale, mais qui ne connaissent pas tous les ouvrages qui leur faciliteront la tâche, et il satisfera tous ceux, clercs ou laïcs, qui s'intéressent aux saints de leur église et qui veulent se renseigner sur la vie et le culte de ceux-ci au-delà de ce qu'ils trouvent dans les compilations ordinaires.
