Description and Table of Contents
Description
In the 11th-13th centuries in the newly christianized countries ( Bohemia, Poland, Hungary and Dalmatia) political leaders dominated the list of newly canonized saints, as opposed to the pious proselytizers of the previous period. (The hagiographical narratives of the latter were published in the preceding volume of the series.) Prefaces to each "vita" discuss the textual tradition. In an appendix the extensive hagiographical literature of the saints is being critically surveyed.
