New Acquisitions in the Research on the History of the Cult of the Saints

Summary/Abstract: This introductory essay provides a panorama of the renewal of hagiographical research related to the cult of Hungarian saints and other saints in medieval Hungary in the past decades. Starting with the late antique beginnings of the cult of the saints, with the Pannonia-born St. Martin, the overview follows a chronological line. After thesaints of the Christianization age – martyred missionaries, converting bishops, holy hermits –, the bulk of new Hungarian research concentrates on the royal saints of the Árpád dynasty.
