Saint Mary Of Egypt: Three Medieval Lives in Verse

Ronald E. Pepin

3.8/5 ( ratings)

The saintly austerities of Mary of Egypt so impressed early monks that they recorded her life to edify their brethren. Many versions circulated and the tale traveled from Palestine to Europe, from Greek to Latin to French to Spanish, from prose to poetry, from hagiography to literature, and from the monastery into the world outside. Here we see Mary through the eyes of three medieval poets: Flodoard, a canon of Reims , Hildebert of Lavardin, a bishop, , and an Anonymous Spaniard.
