medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Part of that previous post on Torello of Poppi was garbled. The end of
the first paragraph and the beginning of the second should have read:
"T. was a young man of Poppi in the Casentino region of Tuscany who
became a hermit in the vicinity, who lived a very austere life blessed
by various miracles, and who after his death at age eighty continued to
produce many more for the benefit of his fellow townspeople. Perhaps
that doesn't sound so engaging, but the rooster who flew onto the young
T.'s arm and crowed three times to recall him from the sinful life into
which he had fallen, the wolf who upon T.'s command obligingly released
from its jaws the young boy it had been carrying away, and many other
details lift this Life above the ordinary.
T. has been claimed both by the Vallombrosans, whose monastery at
very nearby Strumi is evidently the one at Puppi where in the Life T. is
said to have made his confession before going off to be a hermit,..."
Apologies for having omitted T.'s age at death and for the other editing
errors.
Best again,
John Dillon
