Saints Abroad

The Hungarian Historical Review

*  *  *

Publié le mardi 07 juillet 2015

Résumé

Hagiography and the material cult of the saints inform today a wide variety of historical research from philology and theology through historical anthropology and cultural history to narratology and art history. Approaches vary from the local and national (dynastic saints, state religion, patron saints of cities and countries) to the universal (saints as healers, helpers and intercessors). We invite papers to this special issue on saints related to Pannonia and Hungary who crossed the frontiers and either “worked abroad”, or their relics, cults, texts and images scattered all over Europe.

Argument

Hagiography and the material cult of the saints inform today a wide variety of historical research from philology and theology through historical anthropology and cultural history to narratology and art history. Approaches vary from the local and national (dynastic saints, state religion, patron saints of cities and countries) to the universal (saints as healers, helpers and intercessors). We invite papers to this special issue on saints related to Pannonia and Hungary who crossed the frontiers and either “worked abroad”, or their relics, cults, texts and images scattered all over Europe. Our inspiration is spurred by the 1700th anniversary of the birth of Saint Martin of Tours in 2016. Martin, a native of Pannonia, was a soldier in the Roman army before becoming bishop of Tours. His origins, however, had not been forgotten and his medieval cult promoted fertile contacts between the kingdoms of Hungary and France. Hungarian saints in general did very well abroad, from the dynastic saints of the Árpádians – Saint Stephen, Saint Ladislas, Saint Eirene/Piroska, the holy empress of Byzantium, Saint Elisabeth of Hungary/Thuringia, Saint Margaret of Hungary --, and Angevins -- Saint Jadwiga of Poland.

Main themes

The aim of the special issue is to investigate

  • the preservation of the knowledge abroad that the saint originates from Pannonia/Hungary
  • the consequences of the travels and moves of medieval saints or their relics on their cult in the different milieux;
  • the dynamics of the propagation of their cult expressed in hagiography, graphic representations and liturgy, and more specifically the transformations due to this geographic expansion;
  • the workings of the multiple contacts created among the different residences, shrines and patrocinia of specific saints;
  • the non-religious uses of the Hungarian saints in secular literature, legends of origins and different forms of political propaganda.

Papers should focus on the cult of Pannonian/Hungarian saints abroad (or the Hungarian cult of foreign saints) from Late Antiquity to the late Middle Ages.
