Kratki opis

Hrvatsko hagiografsko društvo „Hagiotheca“ osnovano je 2004. i otad okuplja zainteresirane stručnjake u okviru niza međunarodnih znanstvenih skupova. Plodove izlaganja i diskusija Društvo objavljuje u sklopu svoje biblioteke Hagiotheca, u nizu Colloquia. Drugi takav hagiografski simpozij održan u Splitu od 28. do 31. svibnja 2008. okupio je stručnjake iz dvanaest zemlja dio čijih je izlaganja priređen kao drugi svezak u tom nizu. Primjenjujući koncepte identiteta i alteriteta na istraživanje hagiografije i kulta svetaca, šesnaest autora ponudilo je svoje uvide u različite oblike i aspekte štovanja svetaca kroz povijest od kasne antike do 18. stoljeća.
