The story of the apocryphal pope and saint Gregorius was extremely popular throughout the middle ages and later in Europe and beyond. In a memorable narrative Gregorius is born from an incestuous relationship between a noble brother and sister, and is set out to sea with (unspecific) details of his origin. He is found and brought up by an abbot, but when revealed as a foundling leaves as a knight to seek his origins; he rescues his mother's land from attack, and marries her. On discovering his sin he undertakes years of penance on a rocky islet, which he survives miraculously. An angel sends emissaries from Rome to find him after the death of the pope, the key to his shackles is equally miraculously discovered, and he becomes pope. This hagiographical romance is not a variation upon Oedipus; it uses the invisible sin of incest as a parallel both for original sin (the sin of Adam and Eve) and for actual sin. It combines the universal theme of the quest for identity with the problem not of guilt as such, which is inevitable, but of how sinful humanity can cope with it. Brian Murdoch traces the story's probable origins in medieval England or France, and its later appearance in versions from Iceland and Ireland to Iraq and Egypt, in verse and prose, in full-scale literary forms or in much-reduced folktales, in theological as well as secular contexts, down to Thomas Mann and beyond.

Dans le monde latin, la curiosité fut permanente envers ceux qui avaient annoncé le Christ ou établi le christianisme. Pour la satisfaire, on se tournait vers l’Orient où était née l’Église. Cela explique les multiples traductions du grec regroupées ici : Vies brèves de prophètes et d’apôtres, destinées à combler les silences des livres bibliques ; listes des soixante-dix ou soixante-douze disciples, exploitées pour justifier des revendications d’apostolicité. Ces textes, pour la plupart, étaient inconnus avant d’avoir été exhumés par leur éditeur. Les versions latines de tels opuscules découlaient d’initiatives individuelles ; leur diffusion resta limitée pour diverses raisons : faible place accordée à l’Occident dans leur géographie sacrée, méfiance à l’égard de traditions extra-canoniques, absence de finalité liturgique. En effet, contrairement aux grecs et aux orientaux, les latins n’avaient pas de fête collective en l’honneur des prophètes ou des disciples. -- Quatrième de couverture

In Debating the Saints' Cults in the Age of Gregory the Great, Dal Santo argues that the Dialogues, Pope Gregory the Great's most controversial work, should be considered from the perspective of a wide-ranging debate about the saints which took place in early Byzantine society. Like other contemporary works in Greek and Syriac, Gregory's text debated the nature and plausibility of the saints' miracles and the propriety of the saints' cult. Rather than viewing the early Byzantine world as overwhelmingly pious or credulous, the book argues that many contemporaries retained the ability to question and challenge the claims of hagiographers and other promoters of the saints' miracles. From Italy to the heart of the Persian Empire at Ctesiphon, a healthy, sceptical, rationalism remained alive and well. The book's conclusion argues that doubt towards the saints reflected a current of political dissent in the late East Roman or Byzantine Empire, where patronage of Christian saints' shrines was used to sanction imperial autocracy. These far-reaching debates also re-contextualize the emergence of Islam in the Near East.
