While targeting the well-known Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis, this publication specializes in a space that has thus far been a little bit marginalized or perhaps neglected via sleek interpreters: the recontextualizing of the Passio Perpetuae within the next reception of this article within the literature of the early Church. because its composition within the early a long time of the third century, the Passio Perpetuae was having fun with a rare authority and recognition. in spite of the fact that, it contained a couple of progressive and leading edge positive aspects that have been in clash with present social and theological conventions. This ebook analyses all appropriate texts from the third to fifth centuries during which Perpetua and her comrades are pointed out, and demonstrates the ways that those texts attempt to normalize the cutting edge points of the Passio Perpetuae. those efforts, noticeable as they're already on cautious exam of the passages of the editor of the passio, proceed from Tertullian to Augustine and his fans. The normalization of the narrative reaches its top within the so-called Acta Perpetuae which signify a thorough rewriting of the unique and an try to substitute it through a purified textual content, extra compliant with the replaced socio-theological hierarchies.
