Lives of Margherita Colonna: a Website to Accompany “Visions of Sainthood in Medieval Rome”

This companion website maintained by Lezlie Knox features pictures and maps, as well as useful external links to supplement a study completed with Sean Field of Larry Field’s translation  of Margherita Colonna and her two hagiographic legends, Visions of Sainthood in Medieval Rome: The Lives of Margherita Colonna by Giovanni Colonna and Stefania. It is not really intended to be a stand-alone piece with its own extensive discussion; its resources are intended to support the text when used in the classroom.

Included:

  • Images related to Margherita and her family
  • Links to digital humanities projects useful for exploring historical Rome
  • Bibliography on Margherita kept updated since the book’s publication
  • Reviews of Visions of Sainthood in Medieval Rome:  The Lives of Margherita Colonna by Giovanni Colonna and Stefania
