The Cult of St Katherine of Alexandria in Early Medieval Europe (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

St Katherine of Alexandria was one of the most popular saints in both the Orthodox and Latin Churches in the later Middle Ages, yet there has been little study into the way in which her cult developed before c. 1200. This new book redresses the balance, providing a thorough examination of the way the cult spread from the Greek-speaking lands of the Eastern Mediterranean and into Western Europe.
