This collection of essays is about sanctity, demonstrating the
multiplicity of aspects this condition had in Western medieval
Christianity. The studies concentrate on the complex set of the
socio-cultural phenomena of the cult of saints, in a variety of
regions from Egypt to Poland, with a focus on Italy and Central
Europe. The subjects of the contributions range in time from Pope
Damasus in the fourth until St. Christopher in the eighteenth
century. The diversity of approaches adopted by the
contributors-from literary analysis and historical anthropology to
archaeology and art history-represents the open and
multidisciplinary historical research that characterizes the
medievalist community at the Central European University. Top
erudition and scholarly precision meets the mystical world of
Catholic saints. Some of the essays contain numerous black and
white illustrations.
