Communities wrote about holy figures for many reasons. Our speakers consider the characterisation of various holy figures or \u2018the very special dead\u2019 in texts from multiple religious (Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Manichaean) and linguistic (Latin, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew) communities. The workshop will explore the construction of holy and unholy characters, their relationships, and the role of narrative order in texts about holy figures. We are especially interested in how these features change as texts and figures are translated, transmitted, epitomised or received in different contexts across the late-ancient and early-medieval Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>Keynotes: Christian Sahner (Oxford) \u201c<em>How to construct a holy life in the early Islamic period\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&amp; Christa Gray (Reading) TBC<\/p>\n<p>Speakers: Nic Baker-Brian (Cardiff) \u201c<em>Is there a Narrator Here?
