Reforming Saints: Saints' Lives and Their Authors in Germany, 1470-1530 - Oxford Studies in Historical Theology
Collins, David J. (Assistant Professor of Medieval and Early Modern European History, Assistant Professor of Medieval and Early Modern European History, Georgetown University)
In Reforming Saints, David Collins explains how and why Renaissance humanists composed Latin hagiography in Germany in the decades leading up to the Reformation. Contrary to the traditional wisdom, Collins's research uncovers a resurgence in the composition of saints' lives in the half century leading up to 1520.
