medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am working on the death scene of Francis of Assisi in which his dead body miraculously is transformed into the "resurrection body", i.e., it takes on the four endowments: impassibility (impassibilitas), clarity (claritas), agility (agilitas), and subtlety or elusiveness (subtilitas). Are there other saints in the middle ages in which the hagiographer makes such a claim about the body of the saint after his/her death?
Thanks in advance of any replies,
