Summary

Hagiography, or the stories of saints' lives, adjusts to, interprets, and supports contemporary culture in ways that scripture cannot. Cynthia Hahn's Portrayed on the Heart is the first book to examine what illustrated lives of saints, produced during the Middle Ages, reveal about the culture of the people who created and viewed the images.

Author Biography

Cynthia Hahn is Gulnar K. Bosch Professor of Art History of Florida State University.
