On the advice of veteran list member Phyllis Roberts, Jacqueline Hamesse -- Director
of the Belgian Academy of Rome, Secretary of the International Federation of
Medieval Institutes, and Professor of Philosophy at the Universite' Catholique de
Louvain-la-Neuve -- has asked me to ask you the following:
**************
On m'a demande de faire un article sur La saintete' erudite pour un
catalogue d'une exposition a la Vaticane. C'est un sujet qui a ete peu
traite jusqu'a ce jour et je ne trouve rien comme bibliographie. Avez-vous
des idees a ce sujet ou connaissez-vous des publications qui traitent de ce
theme ? Vos suggestions seront les bienvenues.
**************
I'm intrigued by this theme as well, and equally stumped by it. Is there any
hagiographical literature that puts forth, for example, Thomas Aquinas as a type of
saint that can be deemed 'learned'? And how did the title 'doctor' come to evolve
when used to describe certain saints? These are just two queries that come to mind
as a result of Jacqueline's query.
Speaking of which: any ideas? Suggestions? I'll pass along our discussion and
information to Jacqueline.
Best wishes, o eruditi...
