Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West General Editors: Brenda Bolton with Anne J. Duggan and Damian J. Smith About the series The series Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West reflects the central concerns necessary for any in-depth study of the medieval Church – greater cultural awareness and interdisciplinarity. Including both monographs and edited collections, this new series draws on the most innovative work from established and younger scholars alike, offering a balance of interests, vertically though the period from c.400 to c.1500 or horizontally across Latin Christendom. Topics covered range from cultural history, the monastic life, relations between Church and State to law and ritual, palaeography and textual transmission. All authors, from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, share a commitment to innovation, analysis and historical accuracy. About the volume Peter Martyr was one of the central Dominican saints of the thirteenth century, in some cases eclipsing Dominic himself. This monograph investigates the life and death of Peter of Verona and the cult of Peter Martyr, thereby filling a very important gap in both thirteenth century hagiographical studies, and studies of the interrelationship of heresy and imperial politics in the mid-thirteenth century.
