These new saints were near-contemporary citizens who were venerated by their compatriots without official sanction from the papacy. In doing so, the book uncovers a sub-culture of religious expression that has been overlooked in previous scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe study highlights a myriad of hagiographical materials, both visual and textual, created to honour these new saints by members of four different Venetian communities: The Republican government; the monastic orders, mostly Benedictine; the mendicant orders; and local parishes. By scrutinising the hagiographic portraits described in painted \u003ci\u003evita\u003c\/i\u003e panels, written \u003ci\u003evitae\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003epassiones\u003c\/i\u003e, votive images, sermons and sepulchre monuments, as well as archival and historical resources, the book identifies a specifically Venetian typology of sanctity tied to the idiosyncrasies of the city’s site and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy focusing explicitly on local typological traits, the book produces an intimate and complex portrait of Venetian society and offers a framework for exploring the lived religious experience of late-mediaeval societies beyond the lagoon. As a result, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Venice, lived religion, hagiography, mediaeval history and visual culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607295574252,"sku":"9781138478008","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/438e2f05c04f3e67440d5e91b0009fbd.jpg?v=1778190757"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-sanctity-in-global-perspective.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
