Publisher Synopsis
Ivanov shows himself to be keenly attuned to all the main questions presented by the phenomenon of holy folly, as well as thedecisive role of the hagiographer...he always manages to add something new, to say something fresh...Still, this book is a gift. Throughly researched, well documented, chock-full of insights- and, one should add, exquisitely translated-it is the best exsisting monograph on the subject. * Peter C. Bouteneff Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies * A rich and fascinating book * Averil Cameron, Journal of Ecclesiastical History * Ivanov's volume remains indispensible * Philip Gorski, Sobornost * ...fascinating historical study. * Hugh Wybrew, TLS * Sergey Ivanov's wide-ranging study... is a welcome new addition to the recently launched series Oxford Studies in Byzantium * SEER * Read more...
