This is a book that explores the nature of sainthood in a region at
the margins of medieval Latin Christendom. Defining the model of
sanctity that characterized Transylvania between the fourteenth and
sixteenth centuries, the study considers how the cults of saints
functioned within specific local social and cultural contexts.
Analyzing case studies from a multi-ethnic region influenced by
both the Latin and Eastern Christian traditions, this book provides
a close reading of little-surveyed primary sources and offers a
comprehensive understanding of sainthood in Transylvania, enhancing
the broader study of medieval saints’ cults and their
relationship to social power structures. It will be of great
interest to scholars of medieval religion, researchers in medieval
studies, and religious studies scholars engaged in comparative
research.
