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.

Hrotsvit, a canoness in the German convent Gandersheim, wrote Latin poems, stories, plays, and histories during the reign of Emperor Otto the Great (962-973). She expresses a strong sense of authorial mission in letters, prefaces, and dedications. These personal writings, as well as her full literary corpus, are studied in twelve original essays by scholars from Europe and North America, who bring several perspectives to bear. Her historical roots are shown, both in her use of Christian literary tradition (e.g., the legend) and in her understanding of political forces shaping her time. Her strong spirituality emerges from vivid portraits not only of martyrs but also of men and women who question and doubt the Lord, while her openness to problems of sexuality, and of the need for women to realize their individuality and particular gifts, is surprisingly modern. Contributors include: Walter Berscin, Katrinette Bodarwé, Jay Lees, Gary Macy, Linda McMillin, Florence Newman, and Lisa Weston

Welche Eigenschaften sind es, die aus einem Menschen einen Heiligen machen? Außergewöhnliche Begabungen, ein tugendhafter Lebenswandel oder die Macht, Wunder zu wirken? In den spätantiken Märtyrerpassionen und mittelalterlichen Heiligenleben wurde diese Frage zwar unzählige Male beantwortet, doch häufig nicht endgültig. Immer wieder wurden diese Texte literarisch berarbeitet, um sie so dem Geschmack und den Bedürfnissen einer neuen Zeit anzupassen. Auch Hildebert von Lavardin, Baudri von Bourgueil und Marbod von Rennes, deren Nachruhm mehr auf ihren an antiken Modellen orientierten Dichtungen als auf den oft vernachlässigten hagiographischen Werken beruht, wurden mehrfach mit der Überarbeitung alter Heiligenbiographien beauftragt. Sie nutzten diese Gelegenheiten, um den alten Vorlagen zunächst stilistisch zu neuem Glanz zu verhelfen. Doch darüber hinaus mussten sie eine zeitgemäße Antwort auf die Frage finden, was das christliche Heiligkeitsideal im Zeitalter der Gregorianischen Reform ausmacht.
