The Life of Saint Helia, a late ancient Latin hagiography of uncertain provenance, is a remarkable and virtually unknown text, of which a critical edition and English translation appear here for the first time, accompanied by an introduction and commentary. Written predominately in dialogue format, the Life records a lengthy and highly polemical debate between a young girl Helia and her mother regarding the relative merits of virginity and marriage, followed by a dialogue between Helia and a bishop and a debate between Helia and a judge. The arguments both for and against virginity are biblically based, and the text is notable for its citational density and exegetical creativity. The dramatic narrative that frames the dialogue appears to have been influenced by the apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla, while the speeches suggest familiarity with the virginity apologetics of Ambrose and Jerome ; because the Life has is preserved in only two medieval manuscripts, both from northern Spain, a Priscillianist context of composition is possible. This lively work will be of great interest to students of hagiography, asceticism, women's history, and biblical exegesis.

"Au début du carême, sans doute vers 389, l’évêque de Milan prêche sur fond d’une crise économique et sociale dont il est un analyste très perspicace. De sa prédication, il tire ce petit traité en trompe-l’œil : Élie, mentionné dans la lecture du jour, semble très vite «congédié» par l’orateur au profit d’un sujet plus directement pastoral, le jeûne. Dans ce texte d’architecture soignée, tout en crescendo, Ambroise développe une apologie du jeûne, pour mieux l’opposer à son antithèse, l’ebrietas, dont il brosse un tableau haut en couleurs. Le traité culmine dans une présentation du jeûne comme préparation à la vie céleste, propre à mener les catéchumènes au baptême lors de la fête de Pâques. Ce texte, ici donné dans une édition critique nouvelle, est un document de grande valeur pour la connaissance des pratiques ascétiques et de l’histoire sociale. Mais il intéressera aussi, par ses qualités littéraires, et notamment ses descriptions de la vie à Milan dans les milieux privilégiés, tout lecteur désireux de goûter la verve d’un écrivain de talent."--Site web de l'éditeur.

The early historians of the Franciscan order traced the causes of the troubles of the order in their time to Elias, a contemporary and friend of St Francis and an early Minister General. Elias was blamed for opening the way to all relaxations of discipline and disregard of the founder's teaching, and all conflicts and persecutions. Mrs Brooke shows that responsibility cannot be placed on one man, but on many of the early friars. She gives a more historical account of Elias, showing that he was never as dominant a figure as has been supposed. The early conflicts of the order are shown to have been more complex, more interesting and more probable than the fourteenth-century controversialists would allow. The second part of the book describes the achievements of Elias's successors as Minister General, and the important laws they passed. Mrs Brooke has been able to reconstruct the early constitutions, now lost, in greater detail than has previously been attempted.
