Writing ‘True Stories’ English; French: Historians and Hagiographers in the Late Antique and Medieval Near East - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
The papers in this volume examine the interaction between history and hagiography in the late antique and medieval Middle East, exploring the various ways in which the two genres were used and combined to analyse, interpret, and re-create the past. The contributors focus on the circulation of motifs between the two forms of writing and the modifications and adaptations of the initial story that such reuse entailed. Beyond this purely literary question, the retold stories are shown to have been at the centre of a number of cultural, political, and religious strategies, as they were appropriated by different groups, not least by the nascent Muslim community. Writing 'True Stories' also foregrounds the importance of some Christian hagiographical motifs in Muslim historiography, where they were creatively adapted and subverted to define early Islamic ideals of piety and charisma.

DAVIS Sainthood Achieved: Coptic Patriarch Zacharias according to The History of the Patriarchs - MARK N. SWANSON Review "There is much to appreciate in this collective endeavor which fully merited inclusion in Brepols series 'Cultural Encounters'. (.) Writing 'True Stories' must be welcome as a significant contribution that will counter the misunderstandings that are created and maintained by cultural and linguistic differences. It also responds to a growing need to bring together Medievalists, Byzantinists, and Orientalists for an exchange of knowledge and ideas." (S. Efthymiadis, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2010.12.28) "The authors of this significant volume move beyond the poetics of historiography to explore the work that history and hagiography are doing in the late ancient and early Islamic periods.Language : French & english text - Codice della Libreria 010888 Size: 156 x 234 Mm.
