Abstract:
By means of two Latin writings, quickly translated into Spanish and published as incunabula: Flos sanctorum con sus ethimologías (derived from Legenda aurea) and Compendio de la humana salud (derived from Finis Fasciculi medicine), this work aims to examine the connection between hagiography and early modern medical arts. Generally, the narrative construction of the medical treatise from the 15th century —of a notorious providentialism— hasn´t been very analyzed, even less when it comes to saying that the hagiographic aspects, quoted in the medical literature, sustain and encourage a series of

Abstract:
Abstract This essay examines two hagiographical accounts, each features a Christian holy man performing an unusual, though not aberrant, ritual action: casting a daimon onto or into a person. I argue that the priest Innocent in Palladius’ Lausiac History and Abba Daniel in John Moschus’ Spirituale Pratum acted in accordance with their late antique role as ritual experts and “charismatic ombudsmen” and, thus, they could manipulate power relations between the daimon and human to cleanse, protect and/or punish a human, sinful body.

Abstract:
The polemics of idol worship in John Capgrave’s Life of Saint Katherine of Alexandria have been interpreted by previous scholars as either the author’s engagement with the Lollard image controversy or a political critique of Henry VI. This essay, however, shifts the focus from Katherine and her iconoclasm to the concept of divine iconoclasm, defined here not only as the divinely sanctioned or divinely motivated destruction of religious images but also as God’s direct intervention to dismantle false representations and correct human perceptions of the divine. It further argues that Capgrave’s L

Passion. Nowadays everything must be done with passion. No ‘personal statement’ for university admission is complete without some sentiment of passionate motivation; you purchase a sandwich and learn that it has been ‘made lovingly’. So is there anything wrong with studying classical archaeology passionately – with the engagement of emotions, or ‘intensity of feeling’ (OED)? The question arises from the very title of a festal volume devoted to a (some would say, the) historical pioneer of the discipline, J. J. Winckelmann: Die Kunst der Griechen mit der Seele suchend.

Abstract The article is a cultural-philosophical response to Ivan Gerát’s Legendary Scenes and his art history interpretation of the function of Slovak hagiographic pictorial art of the Late Middle Ages. The thrust is on paintings of Christian ethical extremism, reflected in the principle of imitatio Christi. It led to the deaths of martyrs and saints in the name of the Faith. The preponderance of brutal scenes involving the tortured human body in this period art is examined in detail and it is suggested that these portrayals are disincentives that put off the mass culture beholder.

Abstract:
Conceptions of the holy in Serbian hagiography were deeply inspired by the translations of patristic, byzantine and, partly, chivalric literature. Whether the corporal is exalted or rejected, in the tradition of Serbian hagiography it is never an evaluatively neutral notion. Against the intellectual background, crucial for understanding the manner the Serbian medieval society conceived of the body, this paper gives an account of the ?invincible body? topos, i.e. considers the rise of the chivalric idea of the hero, as well as the ideological and symbolic context of its formation.

Among the miracles presented in the text only one is intravital, all the rest are posthumous. They are arranged in a chain of successive episodes, united ideologically, thematically and by the object of the image. Most posthumous miracles happened when the murdered prince`s body has been moved from the Horde to Tver, mostly on the foreign territory.

Abstract:
Since its now notorious mid-1800s historiographical positivist critiques, the term hagiography was often contested as a valid and valuable category for the comparative study of religious phenomena. This essay argues for the perpetuation and careful use of the term hagiography and its cognates in comparative contexts. Drawing from my work on the narrative traditions of the medieval Christian Saint Francis of Assisi (1182–1226) and the Tibetan Buddhist Milarepa (c. 1052–1135), I offer a revised definition of hagiography that reflects the nexus of behaviors, practice, beliefs, and productions thr

<em>As an experienced narrator, Salimbene de Adam (d. 1288) presents himself as a neutral author while constructing, in his chronicle, a sort of anti-hagiography of the Ghibelline lord Alberico da Romano (d. 1260). Utilising the recurring metaphor of the body, Salimbene delineates an interplay of intertextual references. By analysing and unravelling this narrative, I show the manifold meanings that could be contained within the metaphor of the body in the Middle Ages, spanning through all the stages of the spectrum which goes from sacred to profane, and revealing the techniques employed by the

Abstract:
Hagiography occupies a central place in the history of European culture, and yet despite this centrality, its reception as a significant cultural achievement has at times been undermined by a narrow critical hermeneutic, one that focuses largely on the debilitating flaws of the genre. The goal of this critical practice can be described as at once diagnostic and prescriptive, as scholars attempt to rid the canon of specious documents through rigorous textual and contextual analyses. It is my contention, however, that this critical winnowing, rather than rescuing some hagiographic documents from

This technology is convenient for long durations of clinical monitoring with the option of more mobility and freedom for the user.

A feasible detecting approach, which is based on background subtraction, has been developed and has been tested on 39 images. Individual pedestrians in images can be detected and counted. The approach is suitably used to detect and count pedestrians without overlapping. Accuracy rate of detection is higher than 80%.
