This book offers a new interpretation of Adomnan's Life of Saint Columba, a crucial source for the study of early Irish and northern British history. Whereas previous scholars have assumed that this vita was of a fairly typical Irish saint, author Michael Enright shows that Adomnan intended to portray Columba as an authentic Old Testament-style prophet, one who was superior to any other leader because he had been divinely chosen and commissioned to impose God's will on the British Isles. Columba's purposes were not refutable by any other power since, like Moses, Samuel, and Elijah, he had been made into God's own singular herald. Columba's commission was to reform kingship by selecting, anointing, and guiding rulers according to Old Testament precedent. Like a scriptural prophet, moreover, he taught his followers to be prophets so as to ensure the continuity of his mission. In order to advance this regime of the prophet-guided ruler, God also endowed Columba with the special privilege of giving victory in battle to those who supported him. Adomnan ended to show that no other leader or institution could ever legitimately defy Columba, whose spirit actively lived on in his community.

Wczesne żywoty Wojciecha Sławnikowica były nie tylko wyrazem kultu, ale również skupiły jak w soczewce toczone ówcześnie spory wokół życia i śmierci nowego świętego. Najważniejszym wnioskiem wyłaniającym się z książki jest konstatacja, że debata ta, toczona przez środowiska odległe tak ideowo, jak i geograficznie, była niedługo po śmierci praskiego biskupa niesłychanie żywotna.

The volume offers a reading of the main biographical sources of St. Francis of Assisi of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, by presenting himself as more mature synthesis of research of the author, known and respected scholar of Franciscan themes. The basis of the work of Felice Accrocca is the conviction that it is now necessary to overcome the rigid opposition between sources so-called "official" sources of origin and "lion". The different sources of the thirteenth century came together in relationships do not antithetical but complementary, hence the need to pass from the opposition to integration. The book also highlights the importance of renewable so-called "minor", some of which have marked the history of the more "major". It also reiterated the influence exercised by the papacy on the issue hagiographic, locating in Bullarium (the collection of papal letters) a source of primary importance for understanding some of the data that will become essential in establishing the image of St. Francis.
