Tale of Two Saints - The Martyrdoms Miracles of Saints Theodore The Recruit The General

Informationen zum Autor John Haldon is Shelby Cullom Davis '30 Professor of European History, Professor of Byzantine History & Hellenic Studies and Director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies at Princeton University. Klappentext An important source for Byzantine culture and society, this collection of texts is typical of the late Roman and middle Byzantine hagiographical tradition. It throws light not only on cultural and social history but also on economy and politics and illustrates the transformations within a hagiographical text as new versions were written to reflect the social and cultural values of the time at which they were composed. Zusammenfassung While the cult of St Theodore has been studied in the context of hagiographical writing and from the perspective of his representation in medieval art! this translation of the Greek texts connected with St Theodore examines the structure of the texts and their historical development.
