These ten holy women, whose vitae range from the tenth to the
thirteenth centuries, represent a wide variety of Byzantine female
saints. From nuns disguised as monks to desert harlots, these holy
women exemplify some of the divergent paths to sanctification in
Byzantium. These vitae are also notable for their details of
Byzantine life, providing information on family life and household
management, monastic routines, and even a smallpox epidemic.Life of
