From Whore to Madonna
A commonplace of hagiographic construction concerns how the sins of the body can be countered through the body. This article, which examines the representation of St Thaïs in the Gran flos sanctorum, the most accomplished of the various medieval Castilian hagiographic compilations, focuses on her transition from prostitute to penitential ascetic, considering how her development can be related to the Madonna/Whore dichotomy. Particular attention i…
Understanding levels of online participation in the U.K. museum sector
COVID-19 has undeniably affected museums’ online content, yet attempts to identify or understand sector trends have been hampered by a lack of data.

Gathering data from museum websites and five social media platforms, this paper is one of the larges…

The oldest, the Acta apocrypha, offers an implausible account of martyrdom, depicting the soon-to-be-three-year-old Quiricus as a militantly loquacious evangelizer, and his mother, Julitta, as an avid and enthusiastic disciple. This is the source preferred by early Iberian artworks. Conversely, the accounts descended from a fifth-century epistle composed by Theodore of M…
