Hilduin of Saint-Denis: The Passio S. Dionysii in Prose and Verse

Description

St Dionysius was one of the principal saints of medieval France. He is known largely through the writings of Hilduin, the powerful abbot of Saint-Denis in Paris (814-40), who described the life and martyrdom of the saint in prose and verse. Both versions are edited here, with facing-page English translation and commentary. ‎Contents ‎Preface ‎Abbreviations ‎Introduction ‎Chapter 1. The Career of Hilduin ‎Chapter 2.
