medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
A famous example is that of the emperor Trajan, liberated from hell
through the prayers of Pope Gregory the Great. See Gaston Paris, "La
Legende de Trajan," Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des hautes etudes,
sciences philologiques et historiques, fasc. 35 (1878), 261-98;
Gordon Whatley, "The Uses of Hagiography: The Legend of Pope Gregory
and the Emperor Trajan in the Middle Ages," Viator 15 (1984), 25-63.
