	Hagiography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though many hagiographies focus on the lives of men and women canonized by the Christian Church, other religions such as Buddhism and Islam also create and maintain hagiographical texts concerning saints and other individuals believed to be imbued with the sacred.
		The term "hagiography" has also come to be used as a pejorative reference to the works of contemporary biographers and historians whom critics perceive to be uncritical and even "reverential" in their writing.
		In Anglo-Saxon and medieval England, Hagiography became a literary genre par excellence for the teaching of a largely illiterate audience.

	Hagiography - OrthodoxWiki
		Hagiography refers literally to writings on the subject of such holy persons; specifically, the biographies of persons publicly glorified (canonized) by the Church.
		Hagiography is unlike other forms of biography in that it does not necessarily attempt to give a full, historical account of the life of an individual saint.
		Rather, the purpose of hagiography is soteriological—that is, the life of the saint is written so that it might have a salvific effect on those who encounter it.

	The Life of Aleksandr Men': Hagiography in the Making (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Hagiography is not an extinct genre in Russian literature, even though many believe that it was important in the history of early Russian literature but became irrelevant as Russian literature entered its modern period.
		Christian hagiography, literature describing the lives of saints, was developed in Byzantium around the fourth century.
		In traditional Russian hagiography, the apotheosis of the saint is an essential part of the Life's function as a work that celebrates and exalts its hero.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hagiography
		Among the Greeks the development of hagiography was — at least outwardly — the same as among the Latins.
		It involves two operations which are hardly separable: the study of written tradition for the purpose of establishing texts; and research into sources with the object of determining the historical value of those texts.
		The Bollandists have been induced to undertake, side by side with the compilation of the "Acta Sanctorum", a course of labours which, without modifying the spirit of their work, assures for it a broader and firmer basis and a more rigorous application of the principles of historical criticism.

	Medieval Sourcebook: Hippolyte. Delehaye: The Legends of the Saints: An Introduction to Hagiography (1907)
		Historical criticism when applied to the lives of the saints has had certain results which are in no way surprising to those who are accustomed to handle documents and to interpret inscriptions, but which have had a somewhat disturbing effect on the mind of the general public.
		Nevertheless the Life of Constantine is not a saint's life, whereas the book of the Martyrs of Palestine, written with the object of edifying the faithful by an account of the sufferings of these heroes is at once a hagiographic document and an historic record of the first order.
		The staff of St. Gangericus (Géry) remained upright throughout the prayers of the saint,[[1]] and the same thing occurred while St Junianus conversed with King Clothair.[[2]] Various saints hung their cloaks on a sunbeam or brought birds to life when they were already turning on the spit.

	Dr. Elder: HAGIOGRAPHY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Hagiography provides one of the major tools for understanding the mentality of the Middle Ages, and for gleaning bits of historical information otherwise seldom noted down by contemporaries.
		It is, however, a literary genre with its own peculiar conventions, and many a beginning scholar has been led astray by taking literally a statement which was written typologically or theologically.

		A review of ninth-century hagiography, however, reveals that the dream and the vision cannot always be so clearly distinguished.
		I wish to obscure, a little, the demarcation lines between the two, for I wish to access the content of the dream, without entering into a dialogue that interprets the dream imagery, as a means of assessing its role.
		17 This is the basis of distinction used in the Dumbarton Oaks Hagiography Database for the ninth century and also in Greek-English lexionaries.

	Ziolkowski, M.: Hagiography and Modern Russian Literature.
		The heritage of medieval hagiography, the diverse and voluminous literature devoted to saints, was much more important in nineteenth-century Russia than is often recognized.
		Although scholars have treated examples of the influence of hagiographic writing on a few prominent Russian writers, Margaret Ziolkowski is the first to describe the vast extent of its impact.
		Individual chapters treat the influence of hagiography on the poetry of the Decembrists, reworkings of specific hagiographic legends or tales, and the application of hagiographic conventions and features to contemporary characters and situations.

		His praise of Augustine's opponents and his opprobrium heaped on Augustine are simply hagiography in reverse: we mistrust everything from the saint's mouth and believe everything from his enemies.
		Startlingly, Augustine himself was more kind to his interlocutors, believing that even communities he disavows in Confessions have things to offer insofar as any goodness in them attests to the goodness of the Creator.
