The Phenomenon of Creativity in Hagiographies of Archbishop Danilo and His Disciple

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the notion of creativity in Mediaeval Serbian literature on the example of the hagiographies of Archbishop Danilo and His Disciple. Taking as the starting point the idea that literary texts of this epoch should be regarded as a product of enthusiastic poetics, we compare the mediaeval God-infused inspiration with its potential poetic counterpart – Plato’s theory of creativity. By consulting a limited corpus of Plato’s dialogues, on the one side, and the theoretical texts of Averintsev, Berdyaev and the Holy Bible, on the other side, we point out the essential differences of the two manifestations of poetics that ascribe the creative impulse to divine intervention.
