The legend of Theophilus stages an iconic medieval story, its widespread popularity attesting to its grip on the imagination. A pious clerk refuses a promotion, is demoted, becomes furious and makes a contract with the Devil. Later repentant, he seeks out a church and a statue of the Virgin; she appears to him, and he is transformed from apostate to saint. It is illustrated in a variety of media: texts, stained glass, sculpture, and manuscript illuminations. Through a wide range of manuscript illuminations and a selection of French texts, the book explores visual and textual representations of the legend, setting it in its social, cultural and material contexts, and showing how it explores medieval anxieties concerning salvation and identity. The author argues that the legend is a sustained meditation on the power of images, its popularity corresponding with the rise of their role in portraying medieval identity and salvation, and in acting as portals between the limits of the material and the possibilities of the spiritual world Jerry Root is Associate Professor of French and Comparative Literature, University of Utah.

"The legend of Theophilus is translated into most European languages and appears in stained glass, sculpture, and manuscripts. Its colorful details of a man who sold his soul to the Devil, was saved by the Virgin, and became a model for Christians reveal the medieval period's deep fear of hell and the Devil and its high hopes in the Virgin and the Church. This is the first English translation of Gautier de Coinci's pre-Faustian version of the legend of Theophilus, presented in a facing page translation with the original Old French, along with a full introduction and notes"--

"Le Gracial est traduit en entier en français moderne et pour le miracle le plus connu : Théophile à la fois en français et en anglais. Le Gracial d'Adgar est le premier recueil de miracles de Notre-Dame en langue vernaculaire, en l'occurrence en anglo-normand; Il a été rédigé par un moine de Londres vers 1165. Il comporte 49 miracles internationaux ou locaux dont le plus important est le célèbre miracle de Théophile prototype du récit du pacte avec le Diable, appelé à un grand succès ultérieur. Pour la première fois le texte est intégralement traduit en français moderne et en anglais pour le miracle de Théophile. Une courte introduction présente ces récits qui se veulent historiques et qui cherchent à rivaliser avec la littérature profane courtoise en plein essor. Un fort contenu didactique se marie avec un merveilleux chrétien édifiant. Ce chef d'oeuvre littéraire est à rapprocher des chefs d'oeuvre de l'art gothique consacrés souvent à exalter l'amour de Notre-Dame." -- [4ème de couverture].
