Medieval Biographical Collections: Perspectives from Buddhist, Christian and Islamic Worlds - Volume 15 special issue. 2022

medieval worlds Volume 15 special issue. 2022

This is the first special issue of "medieval worlds". This format has been introduced to provide a platform for publishing the proceedings of conferences and specially edited collections of studies which not only form a thematic unit but also engage in comparative or interdisciplinary discourse with each other. Special issues will be published in addition to the regular volumes, apart from the usual publication dates of 1 July and 1 December. The present volume was organised by guest editors D. Mahoney, D. Ó Riain and G. Vocino. It contains seven case studies which examine medieval biographical collections from different cultural and religious backgrounds – Buddhist (R. Langelaar), Christian (R. Kramer, D. Ó Riain, G. Vocino, G. Ward, and V. Wieser) and Muslim (J. Heiss and D. Mahoney). Their findings form the basis of three comparative chapters, in which the authors of the case studies present aspects of comparison which emerged in their collaborative discussions, namely compilation strategies (D. Mahoney and D. Ó Riain), writing strategies (R. Langelaar, G. Vocino and V. Wieser) and audience and reception (R. Kramer and G. Ward). Introduction and conclusion form an overall framework that provides the reader with a broader comparative overview.
