About the Book

English summary: The Greek dossier on St. Christodoulos, founder of the monastery of Patmos (1088), consists of four texts, three vitae and a narrative of a miracle, all written within roughly two centuries after the saint's death by brethren of his monastic community. They are not only important for the reconstruction of the course of life of one of the most famous Byzantine saints, but they are also a unique source for the political and social history of Byzantium and the Eastern Mediterranean from the late 11th to the 13th century. Despite their great importance, these texts have remained almost unknown until today because they are contained in a 19th century edition that is hardly accessible any more and was intended exclusively for the monks and visitors of the John Prodromos Monastery. The new critical edition, which is accompanied by a critical and exhaustive apparatus of sources as well as an index of personal names and of all passages of previous authors quoted or referred to in the texts, will be appreciated by historians and literary scholars alike. Historians will now have at their disposal an important source for the history of the Comnenian period and beyond, while scholars interested in Byzantine literature will have the opportunity to examine in depth four important and rather complex documents, which offer three different visions of the phenomenon of sanctity in Byzantium at the eve of the Fourth Crusade. The introduction discusses several literary, historical and text-critical aspects of the dossier. Extensive summaries in English make these texts available to a wider audience for the first time. German description: Das griechische Dossier uber den Heiligen Christodulos, den Stifter des Johannes Prodromos-Klosters auf Patmos (1088), enthalt vier Texte (drei "Vitae" und die "Narratio" eines Wunders), die im Zeitraum von zwei Jahrhunderten nach dem Tod des Heiligen von Mitgliedern seiner monastischen Gemeinde verfasst wurden. Sie sind nicht nur fur die Rekonstruktion des Lebens eines der bedeutendsten byzantinischen Heiligen wichtig, sondern stellen auch eine einzigartige Quelle fur die politische und soziale Geschichte des Byzantinischen Reiches und des ostlichen Mittelmeerraumes vom ausgehenden 11. bis zum 13. Jahrhundert dar. Trotz ihrer grossen Bedeutung blieben diese Texte bis heute fast unbekannt, weil sie in einer kaum mehr zuganglichen Edition des 19. Jahrhunderts enthalten sind, die auschliesslich fur die Monche und BesucherInnen des Johannes Prodromos-Klosters bestimmt war. Die neue Edition, die von einem kritischen und die gesamte Uberlieferung umfassenden Quellenapparat sowie von einem Namens- und einem Quellenindex erganzt wird, soll sowohl Historiker/innen als auch Literarwissenschaftler/innen von Nutzen sein: Den Historiker/innen wird eine wichtige Quelle fur die Geschichte der Periode der Kaiserdynastie der Komnenen eroffnet, den Forscher/innen der byzantinischen Literatur werden vier - in sprachlicher und literaturgeschichtlicher Hinsicht - wichtige Texte prasentiert, die Zeugen von drei verschiedenen Sichtweisen uber Heiligkeit in Byzanz vor dem Vierten Kreuzzug sind. In der Einfuhrung werden mehrere literarische, historische und textkritische Aspekte des Dossiers erortert, umfangreiche Regesten auf Englisch fuhren eine breitere Leserschaft in die Texte ein.
