Hagiographical Narrative and Apocryphal Imagination in the Syriac Story of Pawla the Priest
Scrinium: Journal of Patrology and Critical Hagiography. 2023. Vol. 19. No. 1. P. 290–313.
Taking the newly discovered Syriac composition, entitled Story of Pawla the priest, as an example, the article explores some literary aspects of Christian hagiographical writing in the late antique Syria-Palestine in its relation to the New Testament apocryphal literature. It focuses on the author’s representation of the bathhouse as a heterotopic and liminal space, and his construction of the imaginary community of Herodians, and discusses the shifting and porous divide between apocryphal and hagiographical avenues of cultural memory during Late Antiquity. In Appendix, an English translation of the relevant parts of the Story is offered.

The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet
space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the
conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of
human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate
global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different
story.
