Abstract |
||
The paper focuses on the problem of forming a genre form of a byzantine description of a saint’s life. The purpose of the research is to find factors having influenced the genre features of the later versions of St. John Chrysostom’s life descriptions compared with the earlier ones. The task of the research is to perform a comparative analysis of the earlier and the later versions of hagiographic works about St. John Chrysostom’s life. The comparison of “Funeral oration” to St. John Chrysostom, the panegyric written at the beginning of the V century, with “Life of St. John Chrysostom”, the biography created in the middle of the VII – the beginning of the VIII century, has shown that the main factor which influenced the formation of the biography genre is that the legendary narratives of the saints served as one of the sources of his life descriptions. |
