One of the most characteristic features of the Lalitavistara, which belongs to the early monuments of Buddhist hagiography (IV–IX centuries in Sanskritand Chinese versions), is theabundance of “embellishments”. Thetext is filled with repetitiveformulas, praisesand formulaic descriptivefragments. Theseformulaic fragments, however, are of interest in themselves and give some signals to the researcher about certain processes inherent in ...

The academic vocabulary used to describe the Iconoclastic Controversy in Byzantium includes both authentic Middle Greek lexemes and artificial terms coined in 16th–17th-century Western Europe, developed in the context of Reformation theological debates. The former category is largely represented by terms referring to the so-called Iconoclasts (εἰκονομάχοι, εἰκονοκλάσται, εἰκονοκαῦ[σ]ται), while the latter includes designations for ...

This article examines the historical semantics of the post-classical Greek word χριστιανοκατήγορος (literally, “an accuser of Christians”). While its existence in the early Byzantine period is doubtful — there is only one isolated occurrence, which had no impact on later tradition and may even be a 10th-century correction — after the Second Council of Nicaea ...

The chapter provides a reassessment of the two interpretative models used for the analysis of Palaeologan hagiography, the ‘old saints’ paradigm and the ‘metaphrasis’ paradigm. After a concise description of the sources, the argument develops in three steps. Firstly, a distinction is drawn between the two dichotomies—‘old’ vs ‘new’ saints and ‘rewritings’ vs ‘original compositions’. ...
