Since its composition in the early decades of the 3rd century, the Passio Perpetuae was enjoying an extraordinary authority and popularity. However, it contained a number of revolutionary and innovative features that were in conflict with existing social and theological conventions. This book analyses all relevant texts from the 3rd to 5th centuries in which Perpetua and her comrades are mentioned, and demonstrates the ways in which these texts strive to normalize the innovative aspects of the Passio Perpetuae. These efforts, visible as they are already on careful examination of the passages of the editor of the passio, continue from Tertullian to Augustine and his followers. The normalization of the narrative reaches its peak in the so-called Acta Perpetuae which represent a radical rewriting of the original and an attempt to replace it by a purified text, more compliant with the changed socio-theological hierarchies. 410 0$aArbeiten zur Kirchengeschichte ;$v127. 606 $aChristian women martyrs$zAfrica, North$xHistory 606 $aChristian saints$zAfrica, North$xBiography$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian martyrs$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aChristian martyrs in literature 610 $aActa Perpetuae. 610 $aAugustine. 610 $aPassio Perpetuae et Felicitatis. 610 $amartyrdom. 615 0$aChristian women martyrs$xHistory. 615 0$aChristian saints$xBiography$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian martyrs$xHistory 615 0$aChristian martyrs in literature. 676 $a272/.1092 700 $aKitzler$b Petr$f1979-$01572911 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797288403321 996 $aFrom Passio perpetuae to Acta perpetuae$93848288 997 $aUNINA
