Van Deusen. 520 8 $a Icelanders venerated numerous saints, both indigenous and from overseas, in the Middle Ages. However, although its literary elite was well acquainted with contemporary Continental currents in hagiographic compositions, theological discussions, and worship practices, much of the history of the learned European networks through which the Icelandic cult of the saints developed and partially survived the Lutheran Reformation remains obscure. The essays collected in this volume address this lacuna by exploring the legacies of the cult of some of the most prominent saints and holy men in medieval Iceland (the Virgin Mary along with SS Agnes of Rome, Benedict of Nursia, Catherine of Alexandria, Dominic of Caleruega, Michael the Archangel, Jon of Holar, ©orlakr of Skalholt, Larentius of Holar, and Gu©ʻmundr the Good), using evidence drawn from Old Norse-Icelandic and Latin hagiographic literature, homilies, prayers, diplomas, sacred art, place-names, and church dedications. By placing the medieval Icelandic cult of the saints within its wider European context, the contributions trace new historical routes of cultural transmission and define the creative processes of the accommodation and adaptation of foreign hagiographic sources and models in medieval and early modern Iceland. They provide a clear picture of an Icelandic hagiographic literature and culture that celebrates the splendour of the saints; they also show how an engaging literary genre, which became immensely popular on the island throughout the Middle Ages and beyond, was created. 650 0 $a Old Norse literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Saints in literature. 651 0 $a Iceland $x History $x History $y To 1500. 651 0 $a Iceland $x Church history. 650 0 $a Sagas $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Sagas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103425 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 650 7 $a Old Norse literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01045226 650 7 $a Saints in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103671 651 7 $a Iceland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210572 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Church history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411629 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Bullitta, Dario, $e editor. 700 1 $a Wolf, Kirsten, $d 1959- $e editor. 710 2 $a Fiske Icelandic Collection. $5 NIC 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781800101999 830 0 $a Studies in Old Norse literature ; $v 9. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16355402BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
