| Summary: | This article supplies an edition and translation to "The Clerk of Rome": an unpublished miracle of the Virgin which is one of the earliest such miracle accounts extant. Before providing this edition, the article also evaluates the three manuscript witnesses, compares "The Clerk of Rome" to related miracles, and discusses what can be known about the tale's origins and purpose. This article argues that the tale was written in the city of Rome around the turn of the millennium, probably in the course of some conflict over the expropriation of church property. |
