The Martyred Inquisitor: The Life and Cult of Peter of Verona (+1252) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Peter Martyr was one of the central Dominican saints of the thirteenth century, in some cases eclipsing Dominic himself. This monograph investigates the life and death of Peter of Verona and the cult of Peter Martyr, thereby filling a very important gap in both thirteenth century hagiographical studies, and studies of the interrelationship of heresy and imperial politics in the mid-thirteenth century.
