CALL FOR PAPERS (please cross-post to appropriate lists)
We need some additional papers for a session on "Hagiography and Sanctity
Outside the Christian Tradition," to be sponsored by the Hagiography
Society at next year's International Congress on Medieval Studies at
Kalamazoo, MIchigan, May 6-9, 1999. It's a broad and important topic,
but obviously we didn't publicize this session widely enough!
We would like to hear ASAP from anyone who might be interested in giving a
20-minute paper on legends of holy men and women in Judaism, Islam,
Hinduism, Buddhism, ancient Egypt, pre-Christian Rome, or any other
relevant tradition. Please send brief abstracts or proposals before Sept.
29 to Suzanne Cahill by e-mail at [log in to unmask] or to me by e-mail
([log in to unmask]) or fax ([US] 608 263-3709).
