The saints were the superheroes and the celebrities of medieval England, bridging the gap between heaven and earth, the living and the dead. A vast body of literature evolved during the middle ages to ensure that everyone, from kings to peasants, knew the stories of the lives, deaths and afterlives of the saints. However, despite its popularity and ubiquity, the genre of the Saint's Life has until recently been little studied. This collection introduces the canon of Middle English hagiography; places it in the context of the cults of saints; analyses key themes within hagiographic narrative, including gender, power, violence and history; and, finally, shows how hagiographic themessurvived the Reformation. Overall it offers both information for those coming to the genre for the first time, and points forward to new trends in research. Dr SARAH SALIH is a Lecturer in English at the University of East Anglia.

L’intérêt littéraire et historique des Miracles des saints Cyr et Jean par Sophrone de Jérusalem, si enracinés dans l’Alexandrie du début du VIIe siècle apr. J.-C., n’est pas épuisé par les travaux existants. On pourrait encore en extraire bien des informations sur la géographie historique de l’Orient chrétien, particulièrement sur l’Égypte et Alexandrie, sur la société et les institutions de la haute époque byzantine, sur la langue et la vie intellectuelle et religieuse du temps. Mais cela requiert un examen plus détaillé, auquel on ne peut procéder qu’à l’aide d’une traduction intégrale commentée. Tel est le propos du présent ouvrage.

This volume presents a series of case studies concerning the use and reuse of Egyptian hagiography in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The first three contributions analyze the use of Egyptian hagiography in the context of late antique Egypt and, in particular, examine to what extent these texts can be used as historical sources for the reconstruction of traditional (pagan) religion. The other contributions illustrate the different contexts in which Egyptian hagiography was reused in the medieval West. The book is an important contribution to the current debate about the usefulness of Egyptian hagiography as a historical source for late antique Egypt and to the study of the reception of the desert fathers in the medieval West.
