Grouped into three main sections, these contributions reflect three interrelated ways in which we can read Syriac hagiography and further grasp its characteristics: "Texts as Literature" seeks to unfold the mechanisms of their literary composition; "Saints Textualized" offers a different perspective on the role played by hagiographical texts in the invention and/or maintenance of the cult of a particular saint or group of saints; "Beyond the Texts" presents cases in which the historical reality behind the nexus of hagiographical texts and veneration of saints can be observed in greater details"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aTexts and Studies in Eastern Christianity 606 $aChristian hagiography$xHistory 615 0$aChristian hagiography$xHistory. 676 $a235.2 702 $aMinov$b Sergey 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816638003321 996 $aSyriac hagiography$94065721 997 $aUNINA
