| Summary: | The abolition of the cult of saints in Protestantism did not mean the disappearance of "hagiographic" literature. The martyrdom of the evangelicals aroused numerous Märtyrerflugschriften and grand martyrologies in order to keep alive the example of the testes veritatis for the building and moral support of the communities. The following study in the first place focuses on the characteristics of the evangelical "hero" as it emerges from the Historiae Martyrum and analyzes too the evolution of the martyr's literary genre from the first "pamphlets", immediate reaction linked to events, to the grand works of the second half of the sixteenth century, in which the memory martyrum appears more functional to a narration of the "history of the church" in an evangelical perspective. |
