| Sommario/riassunto: | Dal Santo argues that Pope Gregory the Great's 'Dialogues', which debated the nature and plausibility of the saints' miracles and the propriety of the saints' cult, should be considered from the perspective of a wide-ranging debate which took place in early Byzantine society. |
