Topic: Hagiographer

  Hagiography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Of all the English hagiographers no one was more prolific nor so aware of the importance of the genre as Ælfric the abbot of Eyneshem.
In the 10th century, a Byzantine monk Simeon Metaphrastes was the first one to change the genre of lives of the saints into something different, giving it a moralizing and panegyrical character.
His catalog of lives of the saints became the standard for all of the Western and Eastern hagiographers, who would create relative biographies and images of the ideal saints by gradually departing from the real facts of their lives.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 98.6.1
Her central thesis is that hagiographers in late antiquity use different "types" of women, which are derived from biblical representations, in their portrayals of ascetic women, in order to make a variety of theological points.
Hagiographers could then use this biblical topos, combined with Stoic notions of a connection between outward appearance and inner being, to represent women's adornment as alienation and their simple dress, or even nakedness, as holy.
In her list of examples of patristic and hagiographic representations of female clothing, C. examines the Pachomian rule, which made no gender distinctions except that women were exempt from the male requirement to wear a hairshirt (C. describes the women as being "forbidden" to wear it).

The paradox in medieval hagiographic texts, according to Elizabeth Alvida Petroff, reflects a situation in which the decisions typical in a religious life lay far outside the domains of choice to which medieval women were limited.
Umiliana was neither completely abandoned as the hagiographer suggests, nor did she truly forge an independent life, for she continued to live on her father's property, with a family servant, sustained (at least minimally) by her family's financial resources.
While this is similar to much of hagiographic rhetoric, this rhetoric reveals itself, as in the case of Umiliana, in a different way with women saints than with men, as a result of their different roles and categorization.

 Medieval Sourcebook: Hippolyte. Delehaye: The Legends of the Saints: An Introduction to Hagiography (1907)
Many readers are not sufficiently on their guard against the vague sentiment which endows hagiographers with some mysterious privilege of immunity from the errors of human frailty to which all other categories of writers are liable.
Hagiographic literature has come to be written under the influence of two very distinct factors, factors to be met with, indeed, in whatever stream of literary productiveness we seek to trace to its source.
In the really popular hagiographic legends it is not St. Lawrence, but the typical martyr that is brought upon the scene, just as later St. Martin becomes the type of the missionary-bishop and miracle-worker.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1998.6.1
C. intends to study not the people who are the subjects of the hagiographies--the holy women--but instead the rhetorical strategies of the hagiographers.
Also, her basic premise that hagiographers used biblical examples in constructing the vitae is well-known, yet some important scholarship on typology and hagiography does not appear in her bibliography.
Since, however, Sacred Fictions is published in the University of Pennsylvania's The Middle Ages series, I am assuming that C. intends for her book to acquaint primarily medieval historians with the late antique literary roots of a genre that gains importance in the later period.

 Past & Present: The problem of female sanctity in Carolingian Europe c. 780-920   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Although the Merovingian female vitae are much studied, and have recently become widely known in English translation,(29) we should not forget that any hagiographer working in the ninth century would not have had the same understanding of the Latin hagiographical tradition as that which I have just outlined.
Hagiographers never chose to situate their saintly subjects in the context of the women saints of Merovingian Gaul: they repeatedly barked back to the canonical texts of late antiquity.
The dependence upon the patristic hagiographical tradition becomes even clearer in the second example, the life of Bertila of Chelles, whose author had minimal knowledge of the saint in question.

The cause being White's critique of the Los Angeles-based former left-wing junkie who has become the fringe right-wing hatchet man on urban and "cultural issues." White's commentary is in the August 30, 1999 issue of Time, titled 'A Real, Live Bigot.
1) Horowitz, a coarse and hoarse flame thrower and hagiographer of cultural and American urban issues, merely got what appears to be the first response/critique published recently in the dominant media, and he's crying like a fevered puppy and threatening a $50 million dollar law suit.
If Horowitz had to be sued for only $1 million every time he appeared on television or radio spewing forth rubbish and his contortionist arcana packaged as expert opinion on culture, he'll really need to have Bill Gates wallet to survive.
