[EAN: 9788772896755], Neubuch, [PU: Museum Tusculanum Press, Copenhagen], Hardcover. The first monograph on the most important Byzantine redactor of saints' lives this book offers a detailed study of the life and working methods of Symeon Metaphrastes, who was active towards the end of the tenth century. The importance of the Metaphrastic redaction has often been measured by the amount of damage it did to the late-antique hagiographical texts, but in the present study it is seen as the culmination of long-term developments within this field. The Metaphrastic collection is studied in the context of its predecessors and in the gradual changes that occurred in the production of hagiography, especially as to the social background of authors, commissioners, and even saints. Emphasis is laid on the gradual redistribution, centralisation and upgrading of hagiographical texts that took place in the Greek world. And in this process rewriting is seen as a vehicle for a canonisation which, even if never instituted in Byzantium, was the intention and, to some degree, the outcome of the Metaphrastic redaction.

The 10th-century Greek hagiographer Simon Metaphrastes here receives comprehensive treatment by Hogel (no affiliation is given, though he tells us his research was funded by the U. of Bergen, Norway). The collection written by Metaphrastes of the lives of 148 Greek saints is described in detail, both in terms of its original purpose and style within the larger milieu of Byzantine court culture, and its later reception. There is a lengthy bibliography and list of Metaphrastic texts, but no index. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c.
