Margherita Colonna (1255-1280) was born into one of the great baronial families that dominated Rome politically and culturally in the thirteenth century. After the death of her father and mother, Margherita was raised by her brothers, including Cardinal Giacomo Colonna. The two extant contemporary accounts of her short life offer a daring model of mystical lay piety forged in imitation of St. Francis but worked out in the vibrant world of medieval Rome. In 'Visions of sainthood in medieval Rome', the authors present the first English translations of Margherita Colonna's two "lives" and a dossier of associated texts, along with thoroughly researched contextualization and scholarly examination. The first of the two lives was written by a layman, the Roman Senator Giovanni Colonna, one of Margherita Colonna's brothers. The second was written by a woman named Stefania, who had been a close follower of Margherita Colonna and assumed leadership of her Franciscan community after Margherita's death. These intriguing texts open up new perspectives on numerous historical questions. How did authorial gender and status influence hagiographic perspective? How fluid was the nature of female Franciscan identity during the era in which the papacy was creating the Order of St. Clare? What were the experiences and influences of female visionaries? And what was the process of saint-making at the heart of an aristocratic Roman family?

L'auteur a raison d'insister sur l'aspect profondément original de l'hagiographie royale serbe pour laquelle elle trouve des parallèles en Hongrie ou ailleurs dans l'Europe centrale. Les analyses proposées sont indissociablement hagiographiques et politiques. L'auteur montre bien l'importance de l'écriture hagiographique dans le projet qu'ont eu les souverains serbes de sacraliser leur dynastie et leur pouvoir en organisant le culte de saints rois, en particulier celui du 'couple' que forment Sava et Syméon. L'évolution idéologique peut être étudiée aisément grâce à la continuité qui s'établit entre les œuvres. L'étude des réécritures permet à l'auteur de mettre en évidence l'importance accrue des récits de miracles. Ce livre est important pour deux raisons principales. Du point de vue de l'hagiographie, il fait connaître un riche corpus de textes souvent ignorés dans le monde occidental, qui constituent un développement inattendu de l'hagiographie byzantine et un pont avec l'Europe catholique. Surtout, ce corpus est important pour comprendre comment s'est constituée, autour de la figure des saints rois et des lieux conservant leur mémoire, l'identité serbe.

"The Hagiographical Experiment: Developing Discourses of Sainthood throws fresh light on narratives about Christian holy men and women from Late Antiquity to Byzantium. Rather than focusing on the relationship between story and reality, it asks what literary choices authors made in depicting their heroes and heroines: how they positioned the narrator, how they responded to existing texts, how they utilised or transcended genre conventions for their own purposes, and how they sought to relate to their audiences. The literary focus of the chapters assembled here showcases the diversity of hagiographical texts written in Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Syriac, as well as pointing out the ongoing conversations that connect them. By asking these questions of this diverse group of texts, it illuminates the literary development of hagiography in the late antique, Byzantine, and medieval periods".

Traducteur et copiste au service de Philippe le Bon, Jean Miélot est l'une des personnalités les plus représentatives du milieu culturel bourguignon pendant le troisième quart du XVe siècle. Cette édition critique a pour objet la Passion de saint Adrian, œuvre hagiographique traduite du latin et conservée dans deux manuscrits, dont l'un en mains privées. Daté de 1458, cet ouvrage est composé de deux parties : le récit de la conversion et du supplice du Saint, et la narration de la translation des reliques du martyr et de quelques miracles posthumes. Encadré dans la vaste production de Miélot, le texte critique est accompagné d'une étude des sources et des pratiques de traduction, d'une analyse linguistique et d'un glossaire.
