This book discusses hagiographical sources from Morocco taking in
consideration the often-overlooked oral tradition. Orality, as is
shown in this study, completes and enriches the vision of
hagiography that written sources traditionally has offered. The
most relevant example in this book is the high presence of female
saints in oral narratives that were not included in any other
written sources. Recovering oral tradition to study hagiography as
well as the role of female saints in Morocco has been one of the
main areas of focus in this study as well as problematizing the
dependence and dialogue between written and oral culture and can
help to understand the diffusion and presence of similar phenomena
in other areas of Morocco.
