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? Are we any closer to the ‘elusive goal’ of understanding society and its many post-Roman transformations through them? This book provides a new starting point for the investigation of the early Middle Ages through hagiography. It critically examines the varied nature of hagiography in different societies, from Ireland to Germany via Rome and Spain, to help pave the way for future comparative studies. The book also offers 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.

Il volume completa la pubblicazione delle agiografie relative ai santi trentini, proponendo l’edizione e lo studio dei testi sui santi della Val di Non: Sisinnio, Martirio, Alessandro, martiri nel 397, e l’eremita Romedio, vissuto in epoca assai più tarda. Queste figure si affiancano a quelle di Vigilio e di Massenzia di Trento (vol. I), mostrando la vitalità delle tradizioni agiografico-culturali trentine durante tutto il Medioevo.
