This volume discusses, from an historical and literary angle, the
ways in which sanctification and the inscription of saintliness
take place. Going beyond the traditional categories of
canonization, cult, liturgical veneration and hagiographical lives,
the work raises fundamental issues concerning definitions of saints
and saintliness in a period before the concept was crystallized in
canon law. As well as discussing sources and methodology,
contributions cover contextual issues, including relics and
veneration, life and the afterlife, and examinations of specific
sources and texts. Subjects raised include the idea of hagiography
as intimate biography, perceptions of holiness in writings by and
about female mystics, and bodily aspects of the Franciscan search
for evangelical perfection.
