L'enquête de canonisation de saint Yves est la source principale à laquelle tous les historiens de saint Yves ont puisé. Elle forme un récit extrêmement précieux de la vie et des miracles du saint par des personnes qui l'ont connu. Elle est aussi un rare témoignage de la vie quotidienne et de la foi du peuple au Moyen Age. Ce texte, dont il n'existe plus qu'une copie manuscrite conservée à la bibliothèque municipale de Saint-Brieuc, a été édité une première fois sous sa forme latine en 1887. Afin d'en faciliter l'accès, nous présentons aujourd'hui sa traduction en français. Saint Yves fait partie des saints que l'on identifie à un lieu et à une profession, en l'occurrence la Bretagne et les juristes, mais dont la renommée dépasse depuis toujours l'un et l'autre. Ce prêtre breton du xrire siècle a été canonisé en 1347, au terme d'une enquête officielle menée 27 ans après sa mort par les représentants du pape.

The Life of Saint Helia, a late ancient Latin hagiography of uncertain provenance, is a remarkable and virtually unknown text, of which a critical edition and English translation appear here for the first time, accompanied by an introduction and commentary. Written predominately in dialogue format, the Life records a lengthy and highly polemical debate between a young girl Helia and her mother regarding the relative merits of virginity and marriage, followed by a dialogue between Helia and a bishop and a debate between Helia and a judge. The arguments both for and against virginity are biblically based, and the text is notable for its citational density and exegetical creativity. The dramatic narrative that frames the dialogue appears to have been influenced by the apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla, while the speeches suggest familiarity with the virginity apologetics of Ambrose and Jerome ; because the Life has is preserved in only two medieval manuscripts, both from northern Spain, a Priscillianist context of composition is possible. This lively work will be of great interest to students of hagiography, asceticism, women's history, and biblical exegesis.
