St. Anne was popular with representatives of various segments of
society - from monks, nuns, members of the clergy, royal patrons,
to church-goers of every rank. This book looks into both the public
and private worship of this holy woman and brings to the surface
some under-exposed aspects of it. It does so through the
examination of manuscripts, monumental art, relics, sculpture, and
texts of various genres. The contributors employ a historical as
well as a theological perspective on how the cult of St. Anne
(sometimes also with glimpses concerning that of Joachim)
established itself, referring to areas in Europe which are not
frequently discussed in English-language scholarship. This new
contribution to the field of hagiography will be of interest to
academics from a variety of research fields, including theologians,
Byzantinists, art and church historians, and historians of a larger
scope.
