This is the first systematic study of literary formulae (topoi) in
Greek medieval lives of the saints. Thomas Pratsch compiles a
comprehensive collection of material, including a systematic
catalogue of the topoi. In his evaluation of them he provides new
insights into the genesis, transmission and historical development
of the genre of Greek saints' vitae. He traces the gradual
development of the vitae from various other literary forms and,
working from a new perspective, lends support to the thesis that a
canon of Greek lives of the saints became established from the end
of the 10th century and into the 11th century. This study is a
valuable reference work on Byzantine hagiographic literature.
