  • The Renaissance of the Maccabees

    David Collins, David J CollinsCHAPTERDying for the Faith, Killing for…2012

    The narrative carnage made the Maccabees more like Christian martyrs, and thus for the actual and potential devotees more familiar to venerate. In addition to associating the Maccabees with Cologne's most important patron saints and to shaping their death in typically grisly, if salvific, ways, Mertz brought the Old Testament martyrs into the world of late medieval piety by highlighting an apocalyptic theme in the accounts of their suffering and …

It shows how Albert's thought on natural philosophy and magic was understood and variously applied, how the Dominicans at Cologne composed his vitae, and how the order's Observant movement participated in these developments. It situates the canonization attempt at t…

Reforming Saints shows that, contrary to scholarly presumptions, there was a resurgence in the composition of saints’ lives in the half centuries on either side of 1500 and that German humanists were among the most active authors and editors of these texts. A goal of Reforming Saints is therefore to shed …
