With few exceptions, representations of Renaissance women were created by men. The Spanish saint, Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), who chose to represent herself, was one of those exceptions. What prompted her to write Book of Her Life, Interior Castle, and other works? What does the self-portrait of this sixteenth-century nun, mystic, and founder of convents reveal about its author, the church, state, and role of women?St. Teresa of Avila, an innovative analysis of Teresa's autobiographical writings, explores these and many other questions. Bringing to bear a knowledge of Inquisition studies, theory of autobiography, scriptural hermeneutics, and hagiography, Carole Slade defines Teresa's writings as a project of self-interpretation undertaken mainly as the result of the perceived, later realized, threat of an accusation of heresy. Being female and of paternal Jewish ancestry, Teresa was vulnerable to such a charge. Teresa's writing project presented her with serious difficulties. Judicial confession, her prescribed genre, presumed the writer's guilt, while the subordinate female script precluded a defense against the suspicion that her mystical experiences came from the devil. Through careful textual analysis, Slade demonstrates that Teresa exploited the nuances of numerous genres - hagiography, New World chronicle, mystical theological treatise, and early novel - to create an innocent textual persona and depict herself in heroic terms. A signal contribution to our understanding of Teresa's rhetorical and literary talent and life circumstances, this book will engage readers across a broad range of disciplines.

Leben und Wundertaten der heiligen Elisabeth von Thüringen sind der Inhalt des 'Elisabethlebens' des Eisenacher Ratsschreibers Johannes Rothe (ca. 1360-1434). Rothe, der zuvor bereits geistliche Werke sowie drei umfangreiche Chroniken ('Eisenacher Stadtchronik', 'Thüringische Landeschronik' und 'Weltchronik) verfasst hat, bietet in der paargereimten Verslegende von über 4000 Versen die umfassende Wiedergabe der chronikalischen und legendarischen Überlieferung, wobei er neben den Chroniken besonders die lateinische Vita Dietrichs von Apolda auswertet. In dem formalen Anschluss an Heiligenlegenden und der inhaltlichen Orientierung an der Chronistik nimmt Rothe einen gattungsübergreifenden Standpunkt ein. Elisabeths Leben wird in die Genealogie des Landgrafengeschlechts eingebunden und damit zum Bestandteil der landgräflichen Memorialkultur. In der Rezeptionsgeschichte des Textes, mit zahlreichen Abschriften bis ins 18. Jh., sind entsprechende Schwerpunkte nachweisbar: das Werk wurde teils als Andachtsbuch genutzt, teils als Bestandteil der Dynastiememoria des thüringischen Herrscherhauses. Rothes Text wird hier erstmals auf der Grundlage der gesamten Überlieferung ediert. Im Parallelabdruck wird eine zweite Fassung geboten, sodass sich die Interessenverschiebungen gegenüber dem Text und die damit verbundenen Varianzen jeweils überschauen lassen.br›

Katherina van Alexandrië was in de Middeleeuwen een van de populairste heiligen in de Lage Landen. Volgens de overlevering was zij beeldschoon en buitengewoon intelligent. Zij liet zich dopen toen zij de hogere waarheid van de christelijke leer had ontdekt. Haar argumenten daarvoor overtuigden zelfs vijftig van de geleerdste mannen uit die tijd. Uiteindelijk liet keizer Maxentius haar na talloze martelingen onthoofden. De heilige wordt dikwijls afgebeeld met een zwaard in haar ene had en een boek in de andere. Naast haar staat gewoonlijk een (gebroken) rad en onder de zoom van haar jurk is soms het gekroonde hoofd van de keizer zichtbaar. Een lange tijd onvindbaar handschrift met een Middelnederlandse versie van Katherina's "vita" wordt nu voor het eerst uitgegeven met een hertaling in modern Nederlands en uitvoerig commentaar. De inleiding beschrijft de religieuze en literair-historische achtergronden van de tekst.
