    Saint Catherine through the Lens of Feminism?

    No full text
    St. Catherine of Alexandria has been defined by modern scholarship as a «Ghost Saint», for the possible identification of her hagiographical figure as a hypostasis of the Late-Antique philosopher, Hypatia of Alexandria. Since Hypatia herself has been often interpreted as a “feminist” or“proto-feminist” icon, one could wonder if and to what extent a Female Studies’ perspective would beuseful to let modern scholars understand Catherine’s figure in herself. The aim of this paper will be to propose some possible interpretations of St. Catherine’s functions through the lens of Female Studies, trying to disentangle in a diachronic approach some of the most significant moments of her literaryand erudite representation, focusing in particular on the key-moment of its early modern reception

    Il contributo intende presentare il testo critico di uno scritto inedito sulla generazione eterna del Verbo di un teologo del dodicesimo secolo, Soterico Panteugeno, tramandato dal solo ms. Ang. gr. 43. Il testo di Soterico sembra, peraltro, essere latore a sua volta di alcuni frammenti di Aezio di Antiochia e di Eracliano di Calcedonia. L’articolo include anche informazioni e note sulla restante produzione teologica di Soterico e, in particolare, sul suo rapporto con quella di Nicola di Metone.The paper aims at providing a critical edition, based on ms. Ang. gr. 43, of an unedited text on the eternal generation of the Logos written by the twelfth-century theologian Soterichos Panteugenos. Soterichos’ text also seems to transmit some fragments from Aetius of Antioch and Heraclianus of Chalcedon. The paper also includes an overall description and some other notes on Soterichos’ works and, in particular, about their relationship with Nicholas of Methone’s theological production
