Il web costituisce oggi l'agorà in cui una molteplicità di soggetti scambia contenuti multimediali in tempo reale, agendo di volta in volta come produttore, fruitore o semplice "ripetitore". In questa sorta di realtà di secondo grado, parallela al mondo reale, non potevano mancare i contenuti di carattere agiografico, tanto più in un'epoca che è stata definita di "rivincita del sacro": il santo è ancora - o è tornato a essere - elemento vitale nella religiosità contemporanea ed è diventato oggetto di curiosità per una platea più ampia dei soli fedeli o praticanti cattolici. Allo scopo di indagare questa nuova dimensione del sacro risponde il presente volume, spazio di riflessione incentrato non tanto sul mezzo in sé quanto sullo specifico tema dei santi e delle devozioni del mondo contemporaneo, visti attraverso la lente del web.

Die Forschung zur Hagiographie hat bis heute dem Konzept des Martyriums in literarischer Hinsicht nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Neben Verhör und Folter besteht der Vorgang des Martyriums aus einem weiteren Schritt, der den Forschungsgegenstand dieses Buches darstellt: die Gefängnisphase. Diese Arbeit analysiert die Rolle des Gefängnisses im Zusammenspiel von Struktur und Handlung der vormetaphrastischen Märtyrerakten und deren Umarbeitungen durch Symeon Metaphrastes (datiert vom 4. bis zum 10. Jahrhundert). In Anlehnung an das anthropologische Konzept der Liminalität wird dargelegt, dass das Gefängnis ein Schwellenraum ist, in dem die Entwicklung der körperlichen Ausdauer und der spirituellen Reife der Protagonisten stattfindet, was zu ihrer Identität als Märtyrer beiträgt. Untersucht werden diverse Aspekte des Gefängnisses und der betroffenen narrativen Figuren in Hinsicht auf Terminologie, Erzählstruktur, Gender und Empfindungen. Neben einer kritischen Lektüre der Quellen bietet diese Arbeit deutsche Übersetzungen der behandelten griechischen Passagen und liefert neue Einsichten in byzantinische hagiographische Studien.

This volume analyses the phenomenon of the thefts of sacred relics in Medieval Italy, in particular through the stealthy translationes, the hagiographic stories narrating the transfer of the relics from one place to another after they were stolen. Thanks to the study of historical contexts, narrative dynamics, literary themes and anthropological aspects, the book attempts to reconstruct the richness and complexity of the phenomenon over the centuries, tracing the history of this specific aspect of the cult of saints, which is also the history of the culture and religious imagery of the Middle Ages.

Sarum Use was the most widely used form of the liturgy in late medieval England, but its service books were much less standardized than their modern counterparts. The lack of uniformity is particularly marked in Sarum breviaries' lessons on saints, which can vary enormously from copy to copy. This book is the first comprehensive examination of those lessons and the manuscripts that preserve them. It provides a catalogue of over eighty manuscripts and twelve early printed versions, giving a brief description of each one, sometimes correcting previous views of its date and provenance, and identifying each copy's divergences from the standard Sarum roster of saints. The book also identifies the textual families into which the manuscripts fall and the extent of their divergence from the lessons in both the early printed versions and the inadequate nineteenth-century edition on which modern scholars have previously depended. The author's findings offer an introduction to the unexpectedly rich variety of hagiographical lessons that survive, identify some of the sources behind them, and shed new light on the ways in which the Sarum breviary developed and was disseminated in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.

Saints were powerful role models in the early Middle Ages, capable of defining communities. But what roles did saintly biographies play in shaping the medieval West? Can we understand society and its many post-Roman transformations through them? This short book takes readers from the creation of medieval hagiography, through the ways in which it circulated, to a wide-ranging assessment of different modern methodologies used to interrogate hagiographies, from early twentieth-century source criticism, to the insights gained from gender studies, postmodernism and digital humanities.

A l'instar du Livre des Miracles de sainte Foy de Conques, on connaît surtout de l'hagiographie méridionale aux alentours de l'an mil les récits de miracles des saints dont l'actualité est ravivée dans le contexte de la Paix de Dieu, de la constitution de nouveaux pouvoirs et d'une concurrence accrue entre les monastères. Or, à cette époque et avant son affiliation à Cluny, le scriptorium de Moissac, alors en pleine activité, produit, entre autres manuscrits, un grand légendier enluminé dont nous conservons d'importants fragments (BNF, Ms. Lat. 5304 et 17002). Ce légendier, le plus grand de son temps, transmet 150 textes dont certains sont très rares. L'étude collective de ce manuscrit permet de réfléchir à la culture hagiographique méridionale depuis le monde wisigothique jusqu'au XIVe siècle. En abordant tour à tour la genèse, les usages et la diffusion d'une telle collection de textes, ce livre invite à un voyage savant dans l'histoire longue du christianisme. Il permet de mieux comprendre la mémoire des premiers temps chrétiens dans le Midi, mais également dans d'autres espaces, du monde hispanique à la Perse, de l'Afrique à la Gaule du Nord.
