Mixing fiction, history, psychoanalysis, and personal fantasy, Teresa, My Love turns a past world into a modern marvel, following Sylvia Leclercq, a French psychoanalyst, academic, and incurable insomniac, as she falls for the sixteenth-century Saint Teresa of Avila and becomes consumed with charting her life. Traveling to Spain, Leclercq, Julia Kristeva's probing alter ego, visits the sites and embodiments of the famous mystic and awakens to her own desire for faith, connection, and rebellion. One of Kristeva's most passionate and transporting works, Teresa, My Love interchanges biography, autobiography, analysis, dramatic dialogue, musical scores, and images of paintings and sculpture to engage the reader in Leclercq's-and Kristeva's-journey. Born in 1515, Teresa of Avila outwitted the Spanish Inquisition and was a key reformer of the Carmelite Order. Her experience of ecstasy, which she intimately described in her writings, released her from her body and led to a complete realization of her consciousness, a state Kristeva explores in relation to present-day political failures, religious fundamentalism, and cultural malaise. Incorporating notes from her own psychoanalytic practice, as well as literary and philosophical references, Kristeva builds a fascinating dual diagnosis of contemporary society and the individual psyche while sharing unprecedented insights into her own character.

Augustinus' "Bekenntnisse" erschlossen der Antike einen fremden seelischen Bezirk: das Reich der Innerlichkeit. Nie zuvor hatte ein Mensch seinen Lebensweg so eindringlich als ein Taumeln zwischen Himmel und Erde, dem heißen Sehnen nach wahrem Glück und den verwirrenden Leidenschaften geschildert. Ohne das Vorbild der "Confessiones" wären weder Luthers Glaubenslehre noch die autobiographischen Werke Rousseaus und Goethes vorstellbar. Übersetzt von Wilhelm Timme.

The Yaysmawurk‘ is a liturgical collection of brief saints’ lives arranged according to the day on which they were celebrated in the annual church calendar. The name comes from the first words of most of the daily entries: Y-aysm awur, that is, “On this day . . .” The collection was part of the great and varied Armenian liturgical tradition from the turn of the first millennium. The first Yaysmawurk‘ was translated from an existing Greek liturgical collection (the Synaxarion, “where the lives are all collected”). In fact, it is common knowledge that this Greek collection was the basis for nearly all such liturgical collections of the lives of the saints throughout the early Christian world. However, it was not a mere translation. Rather, it constituted a logical culmination of a long and steady development in the Armenian Church of what scholars today like to call the cult of the saints.

The Armenian Church Synaxarion is a collection of saints' lives according to the day of the year on which each saint is celebrated. Part of the great and varied Armenian liturgical tradition from the turn of the first millennium, the first Armenian Church Synaxarion represented the logical culmination of a long and steady development of what is today called the cult of the saints. This volume, the first Armenian-English edition, is the first of a twelve-volume series—one for each month of the year—and is ideal for personal devotional use or as a valuable resource for anyone interested in religious saints.

Secondo alcuni agiografi cristiani “nella Sicilia i martiri sono stati una schiera sterminata” e “non si esagera affermando che in fatto di santità l’isola mantiene il primato su tutte le regioni. "[…] Da queste asserzioni è derivata la curiosità di verificare la correttezza dei dati riportati e di conoscere meglio chi fece parte della sterminata schiera. Storicamente le persecuzioni dei cristiani furono tre […]. Invece secondo i cristiani furono non meno di dieci […]. Tre o dieci che siano state, al tirare delle somme, nei tre secoli che passarono dal diffondersi del cristianesimo all’Editto di Costantino, i martiri in terra di Sicilia furono meno di trenta […]. In totale, dunque, la sterminata schiera è costituita da 28 martiri, fra i quali 5 vescovi, 3 diaconi e 2 diaconesse. Di questi 28 martiri solo Vito, Lucia, Agata e forse Euplio erano nati in Sicilia [alcuni] erano siriani, illirici, pugliesi. Degli altri nulla si sa. Tuttavia, quando si tenta di trovare qualche riscontro storico più probante sulle vite dei martiri sopra elencati, le tracce diventano così evanescenti che in alcuni casi è impossibile stabilire se sono veramente esistiti. Man mano che si consultano i documenti e si leggono le agiografie si constata che le storie dei martiri più che le loro vite raccontano le loro morti e che sono state costruite secondo le linee ripetitive delle Passiones di Jacopo da Varazze, miscelandole con miti, leggende, fantasie e spudorate falsità. Il presente libro […] racconta le storie di Agata, Alfio, Lucia, Euplio, Pancrazio, Vito e, per chiudere in bellezza, di Rosalia (che non fu martire), ma sarebbe stato un vero sacrilegio escludere la “santuzza” per antonomasia.
