About the Book

Bursting into the Greco-Roman "classical" world, Christian hagiography was a series of continuities, ruptures, and metamorphoses that integrated a new worldview into all facets of human life. As new heroes, the martyrs and saints—the protagonists of hagiography—went on to constitute religious, moral, and even political paradigms with a high identity value for Christian communities, shaping Christianity from its origins to the present day. But to what extent was the heritage of the classics decisive in building the hagiographic profile of these new heroes? In this volume, each author explores this question through various case studies, showing how hagiographic texts—whether examined from philological, historical, sociological, political, theological, or iconographic perspectives—always benefit from engaging with the rich and enduring classical tradition.

Carlota Miranda Urbano is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Letters and a member of the Centre for Classical and Humanistic Studies at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. With a PhD in Neo-Latin Literature, she has devoted her research to the editing, study, and translation of the literary Neo-Latin production of Portuguese Humanism in the context of the Society of Jesus. She has a particular focus on hagiographic poetry which has led her to publish several peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters, as well as co-author edited volumes.Filippo Forlani is Assistant Professor of Medieval History and Hagiography at the Pontificia Università della Santa Croce in Rome, Italy. His current research focuses on three main areas: the influence of classical texts on hagiography, the potential impact of Christian thought regarding ecclesiastical and civil legislation on slavery, and the history of 12th-century Church councils, particularly their role in resolving schisms, in collaboration with the Konziliengeschichte Forschung.
