Burrus, Virginia
- Abstract
The article offers information on the aspects of hagiography. It mentions the demarcation between the hagiographies of the Christian literature and the Jews' rabbinical literature, and the role that humility plays in a biographer's hagiographical composition. It examines the lives of the saints Eliezer ben Hyrcanus and Eulalia of Mrida in the literary works "Desacralization and Disenchantment," by Emmanuel Levinas, and "Liber Peristephanon," by Aurelius Prudentius Clemens, respectively.
