Le présent livre contient neuf versions de la légende de saint Pierre Martyr, dit aussi ± de Vérone ?, rédigées en français ancien (XIIIe-XVe siècles), qui sont toutes anonymes et n?ont jamais été éditées.00Pierre naît à Vérone, au tournant du xiie et du xiiie siècle, d?une famille cathare. Il est dit ± de Vérone ? ou ± Martyr ?. C?est à Bologne qu?il rencontre les frères prêcheurs et entre dans l?ordre, en recevant l?habit probablement des mains de saint Dominique lui-même, vers 1220 ou 1221. Son activité essentielle est celle de prédicateur itinérant. Enflammé par un zèle religieux authentique dans la lutte contre l?hérésie, nombreux étaient ceux qu?il a arrachés à l?erreur et ramenés à la voie du salut. En septembre 1251, il devient inquisiteur pontifical à Milan, à Côme et dans leurs districts. Il a assumé cette tâche au cours des quelques derniers mois de sa vie, il n?a dirigé aucun procès, personne n?a subi la mort à cause de lui, il ne représente aucunement le stéréotype de l?inquisiteur sanguinaire, son action contre les hérétiques ne s?exerçait que par la prédication. Il obtient la couronne du martyre sur le chemin de Côme à Milan. Tué le 6 avril 1252 par un tueur à gages, loué par les hérétiques, un peu après midi, à la veille de Quasimodo, le premier dimanche après les Pâques. Canonisé le 9 mars 1253. Selon la tradition artistique, avant de mourir Pierre a écrit de son sang sur le sol la parole Credo ? c?est pour la défense de la foi catholique qu?il rendait sa vie.00Le présent livre contient neuf versions de sa légende, rédigées en français ancien (XIIIe-XVe siècles), qui sont toutes anonymes et n?ont jamais été éditées

The first appearance of Jews in Poland and their adventures during their early years of settlement in the country are concealed in undocumented shadows of history. What survived are legends of origin that early chroniclers, historians, writers, and folklore scholars transcribed, thus contributing to their preservation. According to the legendary chronicles Jews resided in Poland for a millennium and developed a vibrant community. Haya Bar-Itzhak examines the legends of origin of the Jews of Poland and discloses how the community creates its own chronicle, how it structures and consolidates its identity through stories about its founding, and how this identity varies from age to age. Bar-Itzhak also examines what happened to these legends after the extermination of Polish Jewry during the Holocaust, when the human space they describe no longer exists except in memory. For the Polish Jews after the Holocaust, the legends of origin undergo a fascinating transformation into legends of destruction.Jewish Poland-Legends of Origin brings to light the more obscure legends of origin as well as those already well known. This book will be of interest to scholars in folklore studies as well as to scholars of Judaic history and culture.

The medieval legend of the Grail, a tale about the search for supreme mystical experience, has never ceased to intrigue writers and scholars by its wildly variegated forms: the settings have ranged from Britain to the Punjab to the Temple of Zeus at Dodona; the Grail itself has been described as the chalice used by Christ at the Last Supper, a stone with miraculous youth-preserving virtues, a vessel containing a man's head swimming in blood; the Grail has been kept in a castle by a beautiful damsel, seen floating through the air in Arthur's palace, and used as a talisman in the East to distinguish the chaste from the unchaste. In his classic exploration of the obscurities and contradictions in the major versions of this legend, Roger Sherman Loomis shows how the Grail, once a Celtic vessel of plenty, evolved into the Christian Grail with miraculous powers. Loomis bases his argument on historical examples involving the major motifs and characters in the legends, beginning with the Arthurian legend recounted in the 1180 French poem by Chrtien de Troyes. The principal texts fall into two classes: those that relate the adventures of the knights in King Arthur's time and those that account for the Grail's removal from the Holy Land to Britain. Written with verve and wit, Loomis's book builds suspense as he proceeds from one puzzle to the next in revealing the meaning behind the Grail and its legends.
