Abstract

Abstract:

Early medieval hagiographers use the unique nature of the cynocephalic Saint Christopher's physicality to provide a contrastive frame for his actions to show how prayer transcends individual subjects and times and connects communities across centuries. Paying attention to Christopher's prayers in individual manuscripts enables us to recognise and engage with individual medieval scribes and readers and how they responded to stories. This discussion unpacks the potential for looking closely at prayers in three different ways: considering their meaning in this particular narrative; exploring how scribes responded to and reshaped them; and considering different approaches to the complex variation in their use.
