This elegant work could possibly emanate from the Iconophile circles of Constantinople, written towards the end of the Second Iconoclasm (c. 838-842) against the Iconoclast Patriarch John VII, the Grammarian, whose alias is suggested to be the magician Heliodorus. The volume includes a thorough investigation of the manuscript tradition, a critical edition, and an English translation (by Prof. Susan Wessel) of the text ; in the Commentary emphasis is placed on the parallel sources and the material found in the Greek magical papyri that underlies most of the magical stories of Heliodorus, stories which appear for the first time in European literature and resurface four centuries later in Western European tales about Virgil the Necromancer. The Appendix includes the critical edition and annotated translation of the Laudatio Leonis ep. Cataniae (BHG 981d). |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

Una leggenda in cerca dautore. La Vita di santa Chiara dAssisi. Studio delle fonti e sinossi intertestuale. Préface de Jacques Dalarun
| Edizione: | Société des Bollandistes, 2010 | | Collana: | Subsidia Hagiographica | | Info disponibilità | Disponibile subito (1 copia) | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 65,00 | | Descrizione | With the present study the Author shows that the Legenda sanctae Clarae virginis is the work of Tommaso of Celano, the hagiographer par excellence of Francis of Assisi. At the end of the 15th century Battista Alfani da Perugia, a nun of the Order of St Clare, was the first to maintain this attribution to Tommaso which until now has only been considered an hypothesis. Alfanis assertion is now confirmed by the Authors critical work by means of a detailed comparison on a lexical and stylistic basis of the Legenda and the process and letter of canonization of St Clare with the genuine works of Tommaso of Celano.
Having shown Celanos authorship of the work, the Author rereads the Legenda sanctae Clarae virginis stressing the precious and significant original material and thus throwing light on hitherto neglected aspects of the Life of St Clare and of the companions of St Fancis and the early history of the Franciscan Order. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Indicativamente procurabile in 20-25 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 70,00 | | Descrizione | Although venerated throughout the Christian West, St Roch has nevertheless remained a mysterious personage. Beginning in the second half of the fifteenth century the cult of the holy pilgrim, protector against the plague, spread from Lombardy to Venice and from Venice German merchants took it to Nuremberg and southern Germany , from where it swiftly spread to the rest of Europe . But who was in fact St Roch and what were the causes which led to his cult becoming so deeply rooted with such speed so that traces of it can be seen everywhere including representations of him in works of art?
It was to answer these questions that Belgian, French, Italian and German scholars met at Padua in February 2004. Their exchange of views led to the abandonment of opinions previously considered certainties. The joint examination of hagiographic, literary, iconographic and documentary sources as well as the discovery of new texts all gave rise to the problematical image of a new saint who appeared in the wake of a new illness - the plague. It was the result of a process of hagiographic elaboration but not as such a product of pure imagination. It was the invention of printing which led to the rapid progression of the cult by the laity of this lay saint, both at its origins and in its elaboration. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
