Vitae sanctorum aetatis conversionis Europae Centralis (saec. X-XI) = Saints of the Christianization Age of Central Europe (Tenth-Eleventh Centuries)
Gábor Klaniczay (ed.), Cristian Gaşpar, Marina Miladinov (transl.)
Edited by Gábor Klaniczay. Translated and annotated by Cristian Gaşpar and Marina Miladinov. With an introductory essay by Ian Wood.
This volume is the first of two containing hagiographical narratives from medieval Central Europe. The lives of the saints in this volume, from the tenth to eleventh centuries, written not much later, are telling witnesses for the process of Christianization of Bohemia, Poland, Hungary and Dalmatia. Most of them became patrons of their region and highly venerated throughout the Middle Ages. The volume presents the first English translation of a legend of each of these saints with the most recent critical edition of the Latin original and prefaces discussing the textual tradition. In an appendix the extensive hagiographical literature of the saints is being critically surveyed.
