Description
Summary:This paper offers an unprecedented analysis of two main hagiographies of Hermachoras of Aquileia, BHL 3838 and 3840 - the latter never having been considered by scholars so far. Our investigation includes comparisons with other texts, especially De episcopis Mettensibus by Paul the Deacon, leading to an accurate chronology of the hagiographies, twice modified in the Early Middle Ages within a short period of time because of the Three Chapters Controversy and the division of the local ecclesiastical seat. Such a modification only intervened in the section about Mark the Evangelist (Leggenda marciana): in an original Passion from the late sixth century, a first addition dating from the beginning of the seventh century (BHL 3840) was altered again within the first third of the same century (BHL 3838), when Grado renewed its communion with Rome. Our survey includes a historical contextualization of texts, and observations on the Aquileian patriarchate's title.
