| Sumario: | The death of the Christian martyr allows us to delve deeper into medieval time and its conception, based on both its linear and cyclical character. The two passions that make up MS. h-I-13, that of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Eustace, are inserted in the broader codicological context of hagiographic legends and adventurous stories that show the progression of narrative genres and compositional dynamics towards a secularization that is in any case exemplary. Their place in the manuscript, one after the other, refers to the configuration of a holiness focused on the imitation of Christ and his suffering on the cross, as well as to the distinction of the particularly female body as a commemorative record of torture and Christian death and witness, in line with the new horizons of hagiographic studies, which are very productive and little explored in the field of medieval Spanish literature. |
