Abstract:
In the age of late Antiquity in the literatures of the Mediterranean basin countries hagiographic discourse has become widespread in pagan, Jewish and Christian literatures. Characteristic features of a literary work with a hagiographical discourse are the presence of a deified character (“man of God”), the combination of the historical substrate with the oral tradition, the dominance of pictorial elements over informative ones, the apologetic and edifying narrative, and the use of archetypes of the “man of God.” In addition to the general hagiographic discourse, there was the Christian hagiographic discourse, which has such specific features as a clear boundary between divine and human nature, the biblical paradigms underlying hagiographical texts, a more radical image of asceticism, the specific nature of miracles, which are mainly miracles of mercy and performed by the power of God. The article examines how the features of hagiographical discourse were reflected in the biographical works by Iamblichus “Vita Pithagorica” and by Athanasius of Alexandria “Vita Antonii,” and also shows the relations between Christian hagiography and the antique biography.

Abstract:
Studying the hagiographic traditions in the literature the modern period, one faces several issues. Firstly, it is assumed that a scholar who compares the hagiographic motifs and plots to the motifs and plots of the modern period, deals with the a hypothetical complex of the already identified and described the hagiographic motifs and plots and all he has to do is to compare them to the motifs and plots of the literature works written in the later times. However, there is no yet such a thing as a complete research on all hagiographic motifs and plots. There are studies of the certain hagiographic texts and the certain types of hagiographic texts, but there is no comprehensive list or index of the hagiographic motifs and plots. Secondly, there is no uniformly accepted scholarly terminology defining what a hagiographic motif is. Can any element of a hagiographic text be considered as such? Should the motif be defined as a unit of a theme or of a plot depending on the theory a scholar chooses to base on: Veselovsky’s vs Tomashevsky’s? How is the term “topos”, which becomes more and more popular among the researchers of the hagiography, related to the hagiographic motifs and plots? Thirdly, the number of the hagiographic and literary texts as well as researches and studies on the subject is so huge that it is only possible to specify some trends of development of the hagiographic elements and traditions in the succeeding literature. The article summarizes and analyzes the existing scientific approaches to the issues of analysis, classification, typology of the hagiographic plots and some hagiographic motifs in the Russian literature of the modern period. The conclusion of the survey is that the modern literature does not need the hagiography as a sapless model; such components of the hagiographic framework as its structure, plot, character, details are transformed from typical, similar to each other, copying the model ones to the unique ones interpreted in new original ways. Usage of the hagiographic sources can not be associated with a certain single genre; the hagiographic elements can be assimilated in any narrative or even in poetry. The literature of the modern period borrows plots, motifs and other elements of the hagiography but it lacks the utilitarian role that the hagiographic texts used to play as calendar reading. Names and dates become just literary symbols, references to some significant analogues but they do not demand to treat a literary character as a hagiographic character. The main purpose of this work is to actualize the discussion on how an index of the hagiographic plots and motifs should be compiled, what a hagiographic motif and plot are, what should be considered hagiographic plots and motifs in later narratives, taking into account that not all the topoi and elements as well as rhetoric and periods, which are recognizable as the indicators of the “hagiographic tradition” in the narrative, can be defined as the motifs in the strict sense of the term.

Abstract:
This article describes The Gateway to the Syriac Saints, a database project developed by the Syriac Reference Portal (www.syriaca.org). It is a research tool for the study of Syriac saints and hagiographic texts. The Gateway to the Syriac Saints is a two-volume database: 1) Qadishe and 2) Bibliotheca Hagiographica Syriaca Electronica (BHSE). Hagiography, the lives of the saints, is a multiform genre. It contains elements of myth, history, biblical exegesis, romance, and theology. The production of saints’ lives blossomed in late antiquity alongside the growth of the cult of the saints. Scholars have attended to hagiographic traditions in Greek and Latin, but many scholars have yet to discover the richness of Syriac hagiographic literature: the stories, homilies, and hymns on the saints that Christians of the Middle East told and preserved. It is our hope that our database will give scholars and students increased access to these traditions to generate new scholarship. The first volume, Qadishe or “saints” in Syriac, is a digital catalogue of saints or holy persons venerated in the Syriac tradition. Some saints are native to the Syriac-speaking milieu, whereas others come from other linguistic or cultural traditions. Through the translation of their hagiographies and the diffusion of saints’ cults in the late antique world, saints were adopted, “imported,” and appropriated into Syriac religious memory. The second volume, the BHSE, focuses on Syriac hagiographic texts. The BHSE contains the titles of over 1000 Syriac stories, hymns, and homilies on saints. It also includes authors’ or hagiographers’ names, the first and last lines of the texts (in Syriac, English, and French), bibliographic information, and the names of the manuscripts containing these hagiographic works. We have also listed modern and ancient translations of these works. All of the data in the Gateway to the Syriac Saints has been encoded in TEI, and it is fully searchable, linkable, and open.

Abstract:
Fragments of the text that represent the category of space in the Old Russian hagiographies from the Uspensky Collection became the sources for this research. The object this article is the contexts that depict spatial images in dynamics. The subject is the semantics of the analyzed contexts. The relevance of the selected topic is substantiated by undiminishing interest to the interpretation of the category of space in the Old Russian texts, as by elaboration of the concept of sanctity in studying the hagiographic literature. The goal of this research lies in determination and description of the semantics of spatial transformations in the analyzed hagiographic texts. Research methodology leans on the descriptive method, which includes observation, interpretation and classification; as well as hermeneutical analysis with consideration of anthropological and axiological approaches. The scientific novelty consists in revealing the new aspect of the category of space in the hagiographic texts – spatial transformations. The author highlights several groups that characterize space transformations in the hagiographies: semantics of construction, semantics of destruction, semantics of expansion, semantics of transfiguration, and semantics of the miraculous. The keynote in the hagiographies is the idea of sanctity, which is important for the interpretation of the transforming space. All changes in the physical world take place under the influence of divine intervention for asserting sanctity of the hero or sanctity of the place. The depicted in the hagiographies spiritual reality impact the state of visible spatial images. In addition to the idea of sanctity, the perception of space transformations is affected by pragmatics of the text – the edifying focus of the genre. The acquired results can be valuable in studying the corpus of hagiographic texts from perspective of the category of space.

Abstract:
Medieval hagiography is full of animal motifs. Representations of animals in medieval literature is usually metaphoric. They could represent theological, moral or political notions. Animals frequently were the symbols of vices and virtues. On one hand researching the changes of the hagiographic topoi related to animals could shed light to the human-nature relationship, on the other hand it provides several pieces of information about medieval society, mentality, religious and folkloristic beliefs. Animal episodes are emphatic in the lives of the desert fathers and later in the Western eremitic movement. The animals appear as the companions of the lonely hermits, give food and help them in the fi elds, and they underline the self mortifi cation of the saint. The motive of the taming of wild animals expresses the holy man’s power over nature. The hermits transform the deserted wilderness into an earthly Paradise, where ferocious animals can live in peace. Hagiographical animal motifs were thoroughly researched by Anglo-Saxon, Italian and French medievalists, however in Hungarian medieval studies this topic is not on the highlight, due to the limited amount of the narrative sources. Present study researches the animal motifs in Hungarian hagiographical literature with special regard to the “the hermit and the hunter” topos – a denomination used by the British scholar, Brian Golding. Chiefl y I analyse the legends of Saint Gerhard, Saint Ladislaus, Saint Günther and Saint Andreas, the hermit of Zobor. The Life of Paul the hermit of Thebes by Jerome and the Dialoges of Sulpicius Severus also appear in the study, although they are not connected directly to Hungary, but the cults of Saint Paul the hermit and Saint Martin of Tours were widespread in the medieval Hungarian Kingdom. The Vitae Patrum, the History of the Pauline Order from the early 16th century by provost Gergely Gyöngyösi also appears in the study, because several hagiographic motifs occur in the work. The magic deer is a crucial motif in the texts, this can be also connected to the ancient pagan Hungarian folkloristic “myths”. ”However I research only the Western hagiographic parallels of this topos, and make little reference to the pagan origins. This topic has already been researched by several medievalists, art historians and ethnographers.

Abstract:
The present paper analyses and interprets the tale The Enchanted Wanderer. The story, written by Nikolai Leskov, is built on a very complex combination of different elements, primarily relating to the lives of the saints and to folklore. Hagiographical elements in this work possess ambivalent semantics. Single events from the life of the protagonist, Ivan Severʹianych Fliagin, correlate with the episodes-topoi in hagiography, while other actions are in contrast with them. The interpretation of Ivan Fliagin’s (monk Ishmael’s) fate by the narrator obviously does not coincide with the author’s vision, which is infinitely more complex. Undoubtedly, the only righteous beginning in Fliagin’s soul is the desire to sacrifice himself for the people. The life of Leskov’s hero, perceived by its non-reflective consciousness as integrity, for the ideal or so-called abstract reader is split into a series of diametrically opposed or ambivalent acts. This life should be read through different codes, primarily from hagiography and folklore (fairy and epic tales). At the same time, in the hagiographic code Ivan turns out to be both a hero and an anti-hero. The hagiographic code is inadequate to describe the personality and fate of Ivan-Ishmael: it periodically “fails” when trying to describe the life of the hero. Reality is presented by Leskov as a much richer phenomenon than literature. The Enchanted Wanderer is a work with ambivalent semantics, which is created by the interaction and interplay of different codes. The poetics of ambivalence is characteristic in general for works by this writer. In The Enchanted Wanderer it has a particularly distinct character.

Abstract:
"Resources available for Byzantine scholarship in general and for studying Psellos in particular have improved greatly in recent years. Electronic databases assist editors of texts in isolating an author’s stylistic habits and in identifying parallel and source texts, while increasingly sensitive search engines provide wide access to scholarly articles, online manuscript catalogues, online publications of texts and translations and great potential for further expansion. Teubner has published Psellos’ extensive writings in genre-defined volumes such as poetry, philosophy, forensic orations and hagiographic orations that represent modern categories of literature but do not capture Byzantine conceptualizations. Two examples illustrate this observation. (1) Although the oration on the Miracle at Blachernae is among Psellos’ hagiographic writings, it contains a brief ecphrasis of a “living icon” prominent in art-historical discussions; however, the oration chiefly focuses upon the Byzantine court system and Psellos’ suggestion for designating a miracle to resolve a vexed legal case. (2) Psellos’ Encomion on Symeon Metaphrastes resembles a saint’s vita and his hymn/canon for Metaphrastes represents a step towards honoring a “new” Byzantine saint. This process continued for 400 years. The 14th-century Hesychast movement used Metaphrastes’ writings to validate their own views and expedited his inclusion in the Synaxarion of Constantinople in the 15th Century. Keywords: Blachernae Oration, Byzantine courts, Hesychasm, hagiographical resources, “new” Byzantine Saints, Mark Eugenikos, Psellos’ hagiography, Symeon Metaphrastes, Synaxarion of Constantinople, Teubner Psellos.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the hagiographic genre in the Buryat- Mongolian literature of the medieval period. The author examines origins of the genre, rooted in the Indo-Tibetan literary tradition and associated with Buddhist “hagiographic” literature. The traditions of Indo-Tibeto-Mongolian hagiography in Buryat literary criticism have not been specially studied, so this is one of the new areas of study that requires comprehensive review. The analysis of the poetic work of Aghvan Dorzhiev, “Entertaining stories about a trip around the world,” undertaken in the article, makes it possible to trace how such a unique author, who has absorbed the primordial traditions of Indo-Tibetan culture, due to the received almost twenty years of education in Tibet, then the experience of teaching Buddhist philosophy to such a student, like the XIII Dalai Lama, managed to creatively synthesize, as a citizen of Russia, who received his initial education at home, two different cultures. His work, although written in the genre of a medieval life, is evidence of the genre transformation under the influence of new historical, literary and other realities. Thus this work can be viewed as a transition from medieval traditions to the new realistic literature in Buryat- Mongolian culture.

This dissertation develops on the issue seen as hagiographic literature from the life of Father Gabriel Malagrida which aims to extract an understanding of holiness from the colonial era . Problematizes the subject , with the backdrop of theological reflection , questions such as: What is the cultural context in which the narratives of the life of Malagrida then inserted ? You can establish a hagiographic model of holiness from the investigation of biographies of Malagrida ? What is the relationship that we establish between narrative Matias Rodrigues , Life of Father Gabriel Malagrida and more relevant information about the lives of saints hagiographic work , Legenda Aurea ? The method used is the investigation of literary , biographical and hagiographic literature of life Malagrida and other texts that contribute in understanding the thematic sources. The research aims to contribute to this approach in the valuation of a character of historical importance to Brazil , Jesuit Malagrida . It was found , first, that the current model of holiness has its origins in the medieval conception of Portuguese mother permeates all Brazilian colony . Then proved the hypothesis that an investigation of biographical works Malagrida views from the understanding of hagiographic literature , could provide us sufficient evidence to establish a model of colonial medieval holiness. Finally , we relate this concept to the hagiography contained in Legenda Aurea in order to delineate this paradigm of holiness
Esta dissertação desenvolve-se acerca da questão hagiográfica entendida como literatura a partir da vida do padre Gabriel Malagrida do qual pretende-se extrair a compreensão de santidade da época colonial. Problematiza-se o assunto, tendo como pano de fundo da reflexão teológica, questionamentos como: Qual o contexto cultural em que as narrativas da vida de Malagrida então inseridas? É possível estabelecer um modelo hagiográfico de santidade a partir da investigação das biografias de Malagrida? Qual é a relação que podemos estabelecer entre a narrativa de Matias Rodrigues, Vida do padre Gabriel Malagrida e a obra hagiográfica mais relevante sobre a vida dos santos, Legenda Áurea? O método utilizado é a investigação de fontes literárias, biográficas e da literatura hagiográfica da vida de Malagrida e de outros textos que contribuíssem na compreensão da temática. A pesquisa pretende com essa abordagem contribuir na valorização de um personagem de importância histórica para o Brasil, o jesuíta Malagrida. Verificou-se, primeiramente, que o modelo de santidade vigente tem suas origens na concepção medieval de matriz portuguesa que impregna toda a Colônia brasileira. Em seguida, comprovou-se a hipótese de que uma investigação das obras biográficas de Malagrida vistas a partir da compreensão da literatura hagiográfica, poderia-nos fornecer elementos suficientes para estabelecer um modelo de santidade medieval colonial. E por fim, relacionamos essa concepção com a hagiografia contida em Legenda Áurea de modo a delinear esse paradigma de santidade

Vinsonhaler, Nettie Christine. "The prophetic Beowulf: heroic-hagiographic hybridity in Andreas, Juliana, and Beowulf." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1787.

Full text
Abstract:
Beowulf's contest with Grendel has universally been read as an assertion of heroic agency. Yet as I demonstrate, this purportedly neutral convention derives from the misreading of a riddle design that invites and then disrupts expectation in the accidental denouement of Grendel's self-destruction. As an alternative to heroic misprision, I locate Beowulf's salient analogues in the poetic hagiographies, Andreas and Juliana. Within these poems I demonstrate a distinctive Christian critique, which defines heroic order through its assertion of loyalty to insiders and enmity to outsiders, and aligns with René Girard's anthropology in marking enmity both as a source of social cohesion and instability. I also demonstrate a distinctive "crossover poetics" that switches godly and demonic attributes between the opposed communities. As this crossover design gives rise to tropes of heroic-hagiographic hybridity, it exposes a biblical prophetic distinction between the physical realm of objects, actions, and words, and the metaphysical realm of emotional, ethical, and relational principles--a distinction by which the poem locates the origin of enmity in the idolatrous gestalt of egoistic materialism and the origin of loyalty in the covenant ethos of transcendent affiliation. This crossover design, moreover, functions in rapprochement with heroic culture, to affirm the godliness of loyalty and reject demonic enmity, while also interrogating the idolatrous potentiality of Christian discourse. As an alternative to the instabilities marked within heroic social order, the hagiographies offer a new social order based in a two-fold conception: a Christological model that entails compassion for enemies and self-sacrificing obedience to the covenant ethos, and a prophetic model that resists violent contagion through egoistic effacement, entailed in acts of divine praise and benevolent prayer. Lacking these redemptive disciplines, Beowulf's pagan fictive world nevertheless incorporates the same hagiographic critique, but through dystopian patterns of demonic inversion. Thus, Beowulf synthesizes the cardinal hagiographic elements--the same narrative arcs, lexical patterns, and crossover poetics--in a drama that schools its audience in prophetic discernment: to see the essential, defining reality beneath the surface of human events and to recognize patterns of divine retribution as paradoxical enactments of demonic self- destruction.

Abstract:
This thesis examines attitudes and approaches towards death, as well as aesthetic representations of death, in Anglo-Saxon hagiography. The thesis contributes to the discussion of the historical and intellectual contexts of hagiography and considers how saintly death-scenes are represented to form commentaries on exemplary behaviour. A comprehensive survey of death-scenes in Anglo-Saxon hagiography has been undertaken, charting typical and atypical motifs used in literary manifestations of both martyrdom and non-violent death. The clusters of literary motifs found in these texts and what their use suggests about attitudes to exemplary death is analysed in an exploration of whether Anglo-Saxon hagiography presents a consistent aesthetic of death. The thesis also considers how modern scholarly fields such as thanatology can provide fresh discourses on the attitudes to and depictions of ‘good' and ‘bad' deaths. Moreover, the thesis addresses the intersection of the hagiographic inheritance with discernibly Anglo-Saxon attitudes towards death and dying, and investigates whether or not the deaths of native Anglo-Saxon saints are presented differently compared with the deaths of universal saints. The thesis explores continuities and discontinuities in the presentations of physical and spiritual death, and assesses whether or not differences exist in the depiction of death-scenes based on an author's personal agenda, choice of terminology, approaches towards the body–soul dichotomy, or the gender of his or her subject, for example. Furthermore, the thesis investigates how hagiographic representations of death compare with portrayals in other literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, and whether any non-hagiographic paradigms provide alternative exemplars of the ‘good death'. The thesis also assesses gendered portrayals of death, the portrayal of last words in saints' lives, and the various motifs relating to the soul at the moment of death. The thesis contains a Motif Index of saintly death-scenes as Appendix I.

Abstract:
The paper deals with two death scenes depicted in the Old Serbian Literature: one in the Life of Saint Simeon written by St. Sava, and the other in the Life of Queen Jelena written by Danilo II, the Archbishop of Peć. The author points to the specifi c place that these two scenes have in the corpus of Ser-bian medieval literature, identifi es both the common and distinguishing elements in them, and analyses the scenes from the perspective of the traditional hagiographic topoi and the author’s standpoint regarding this topic.
