"The Life and Miracles of Thekla offers a unique view on the reception of classical and early Christian literature in Late Antiquity. This study examines the Life and Miracles as an intricate example of Greek writing and attempts to situate the work amidst a wealth of similar literary forms from the classical world. While the author of the Life and Miracles remains anonymous, his role is crucial in updating and claiming Thekla's legend for his own endeavour. This study represents a detailed investigation into the literary character of this ambitious Greek work from Late Antiquity."--BOOK JACKET.
