  • A.C. Myshrall
    CHAPTER 9. AN INTRODUCTION TO LECTIONARY 299 (A.C. MYSHRALL) Codex Zacynthius, as it is currently bound, is a near-complete Greek gospel lectionary dating to the late twelfth century. Very little work has been done on this lectionary because of the intense interest in the text written underneath. Indeed, New Testament scholars have generally neglected most lectionaries in favour of working on continuous text manuscripts.1 This is largely down to the late date of most of the available lectionaries as well as the assumption that they form a separate, secondary, textual tradition. However, the study of Byzantine lectionaries is vital to understand the development of the use of the New Testament text. Nearly half of the catalogued New Testament manuscripts are lectionaries.2 These manuscripts show us how, in the words of Krueger and Nelson, ‘Christianity is not so much the religion of the New Testament as the religion of its use’.3 These lectionaries were how the Byzantine faithful heard the Bible throughout the Church year, how they interacted with the Scriptures, and they open a window for us to see the worship of a particular community in a particular time and place. THE LECTIONARY A lectionary is a book containing selected scripture readings for use in Christian worship on a given day. The biblical text is thus arranged not in the traditional order of the Bible, but in the order of how the readings appear throughout the year of worship. So, not all of the Bible is included (the Book of Revelation never appears in a Greek lectionary) and the 1 Exceptions to this include the Chicago Lectionary Project (for an overview of the project see Carroll Osburn, ‘The Greek Lectionaries of the New Testament,’ in The Text of the New Testament.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Saints of the Crusader States: Legends of the Eastern Mediterranean in Anglo-French Vernacular Culture, 1135-1220 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies by Cristina Politano 2018 ã Copyright by Cristina Politano 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Saints of the Crusader States: Legends of the Eastern Mediterranean in Anglo-French Vernacular Culture, 1135-1220 by Cristina Politano Doctor of Philosophy in French and Francophone Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Zrinka Stahuljak, Chair A corpus of Anglo-French hagiography composed between 1135 and 1220 tells the lives of Biblical and Late Antique women with origins in the eastern Mediterranean: the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene who lived in Jerusalem, Margaret of Antioch, Catherine of Alexandria, and Mary of Egypt. These narratives circulated and gained a popular audience in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Normandy, England, and France. Hagiography scholars have focused on the ways in which vernacular portrayals of female saints reveal medieval ideas of gender; this study evaluates the extent to which ideology is indexed through both the gender and the geographical origin of the saints in question. It considers how the contexts of pilgrimage and crusade offer a new framework for the larger discussion of these texts. What is the nature of the link that twelfth- century Anglo-Norman hagiographers sought to establish with the wider, non-western world? ii An inquiry into the provenance of these legends reveals that their underlying ideology often complicates or contradicts orthodox theological definitions of sainthood elaborated by twelfth- century Christian theologians.

  • The Role and Symbolism of the Dragon in Vernacular Saints' Legends, 1200
    THE ROLE AND SYMBOLISM OF THE DRAGON IN VERNACULAR SAINTS' LEGENDS, 1200-1500 BY PATRICIABROWN A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOROF PHILOSOPHY School of English Faculty of Arts The University of Birmingham July 1998 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the role and function of the dragon in the saint's encounter with the monster in hagiographictexts, written primarily in the vernacular, between 1200 and 1500. Those connotationsaccrued by the dragonwhich are relevantto this thesis are traced from their earliestbeginnings. Although by the middle ages the multi-valencyof the dragon is reducedto one primary symbolic valency, that of evil and significantly, the evil of paganism, the dragon never loses completely its ancient associations and they help to colour its function within the narrative. The symbolic use of the dragon in vernacular saints' lives is generally consistent, althoughallowing for differentdidactic emphases. However,the two legends on which this thesis concentrates are those of St George from Caxton's Golden Legend and St Margaretfrom the KatherineGroup.
