The life of Giraldus Cambrensis \/ Gerald of Wales (c.1146 \u2013 c.1223) represents many facets of the Middle Ages: he was raised in a frontier society, he was educated in Paris, he worked for the kings of England and he unsuccessfully tried to climb the ecclesiastical ladder. He travelled widely, he met many high-ranking persons, and he wrote books in which he included more than one (amusing) anecdote about many persons. Up to this day, scholars have devoted a different degree of attention to Giraldus\u2019 works: his ethnographical and historiographical works have been studied thoroughly, whereas his hagiographical writing has been left largely unexamined. This observation is quite surprising, because Giraldus\u2019 talent as a hagiographer has been acknowledged long ago.<\/p>\n
Scholars have already examined Giraldus\u2019 saints\u2019 lives independently, but an interpretation of his whole hagiographical \u0153uvre is still a desideratum. This thesis proposed to fill this gap by following two major research questions. First of all, this thesis examined the particular way in which Giraldus depicted each saint. Furthermore, it explained why Giraldus chose \/ preferred a certain depiction of a particular saint.<\/p>\n
Overall, an examination of the hagiographical art of writing of Giraldus Cambrensis offered insight into the way hagiography was considered by authors and commissioners and how this art was practiced during the twelfth and thirteenth century.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
