famously depicts Harold Godwinson pulling soldiers from quicksand

with Mont Saint-Michel in the background. The Museum of Reading

has placed online images from its nineteenth- century copy of the tapestry,

with that of Harold’s exploits found at http://www.bayeuxtapestry.org.uk/

Apocalypses (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1993); and D. S. Russell, The

Method and Message of Jewish Apocalyptic (Philadelphia: Westminster Press,

he means the propensity of Second Temple sects to establish their validity

and superiority through halakhic orthopraxy: Paul and Palestinian Judaism

(Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1977), pp. 236 and 426–428. Dieter Heidtmann

aptly designates angels as “boundary markers of God” ( Grenzgestalten Gottes )

when arguing for their necessary inclusion in contemporary Christian dis-

course: Die Engel: Grenzgestalten Gottes. Ü ber Notwendigkeit und M ö glichkeit

a wholesale adoption of Zoroastrian concepts but does suggest an assimila-

tion of comparable ideas, although without an understanding of their origi-

nal function within Zoroastrianism. Also, Tuschling, Angels and Orthodoxy ,

pp. 26–28. Shaul Shaked argues for a close understanding of the Zoroastrian

system of religious thought and its incorporation within documents from

magical healing from its minority neighbors. This is particularly the case

for exotic diseases often presumed as “foreign” and therefore better under-

stood by outsiders.

108. CIL VI.1.142, edited by Bottari, p. 23, provides images of the now lost

mural. The thaumaturgic and salvific cult of Sabazios, which first attained

prominence around Pergamon in the fourth century bce , spread through-

out the Roman Empire as a mystery religion: M. J. Vermaseren and Eugene

Lane, Corpus Cultus Iovis Sabazii , 3 vols. (Leiden: Brill, 1983–89). Pine

cones found on fingers of bronze hands exalted Sabazios as the consort

of Cybele the Great Goddess ( Corpus Cultus Iovis Sabazii 3), where he

replaced the youthful Attis most often encountered as the son and com-

panion of Cybele. Attis is often characterized as a salvific “dying and ris-

ing god,” a construct discredited by Johnathan Z. Smith, Drudgery Divine

(Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990), pp. 99–107 and 125–129.

That does not negate Vibia’s expectations of Sabazios’s powers.

111. Franz Cumont, “Les anges du paganisme,” pp. 159–160, voiced the eth-

“angel of Baalbek” (p. 179). Cumont presents other angel inscriptions as

well. For a list of pro salute inscriptions, see Table 13 of Jason Moralee’s

heavenly beings in Jesus and the God of Israel (Grand Rapids: William B.

Eerdmans, 2008), particularly pp. 1–59, and most specifically his discussion

of Jesus’s “exaltation above all the angelic powers” (pp. 23–24).

“angel Christology” rather than “angelomorphic Christology” in the belief

that some early Christians did think of Christ as an angel (pp. 137–162).

145. John Muddiman disputes this point as the basis for Satan’s prosecution. He

looks instead to Moses’s and Aaron’s rebellion at Meribah (Num. 20.2–

13), for which God denied them entry into the Promised Land: “The

Assumption of Moses and the Epistle of Jude,” in Moses in Biblical and Extra-

zur Zeitschrift f ü r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 372 (Berlin, 2007),

pp. 171–172 [pp. 169–180]. Muddiman also argues against an alternative

reconstruction of the lost ending of the Assumption offered by Richard

Bauckham, who in Jude, 2 Peter , pp. 65–76, envisions the dispute between

Michael and Satan to center on a quarrel over Moses’s burial by Michael

and other angels and not Satan’s accusations of sin.

157. See P. Oxy. 1069, Les plus anciens monuments , p. 403, for an amulet against

“reptiles and other evils” with a similar mixture of magical syllables and

Christian divine names: “ ōr ō r f ō rf ō r Ia ō Saba ō th Adone .” For other examples,

see the “Mithras Liturgy” found in the Great Magic Papyrus, PGM IV.655

( ō r ō r ) and IV.765 ( ph ō r ), where a performance for purposes of divination

repeats an incantatory string of permutated syllables: “ e ō r ō r ō re ō rri ō ri ō r r ō r

r ō i .”

158. Johnathan Z. Smith describes religion as “a mode of human creativity”

that embodies a “variety of attempts to map, construct, and inhabit posi-

tions of power through the use of myths, rituals and experiences of trans-

formation.” See his Map Is Not Territory (Chicago: University of Chicago

Press, 1993), p. 291, and pp. 289–309 generally. See as well his To Take

Place: Toward Theory in Ritual (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1992),

pp. 74–95, where he discusses the localization of sacred power within a

“miniaturized” space, so as to maximize its control as well as “Constructing

a Small Place,” Sacred Space: Shrine, City, Land , edited by Joshua Prawer

and B. A. Kedar (New York: New York University Press, 1998), pp. 18–31,

University of Chicago Press, 1975), pp. 133–134. Joseph Barbel also hints

at a characterization of the sentence as a confessional formula, although

he points to this sentence as clumsily constructed and therefore unneces-

sarily confusing: Christos Angelos, die Anschauung von Christus als Bote und

sentence within it; The Theology of Justin Martyr (Amsterdam: Philo Press,

1968 reprint), pp. 189–190, as does Barbel, Christos Angelos , pp. 50–63.Both

discern Justin’s inclusion of angels within traditional Logos teaching.

164. Osborn, Justin Martyr , p. 56, corroborates this reading, which discerns some

precision in the handling of the conjunctions te and ka í : “Angels are divine

beings who are worshipped and honored after, but with, the Father, Son

and Spirit. The angels had the providence and oversight of men.”

1. Cyril Mango, “The Pilgrimage Centre of St. Michael at Germia,” Jahrbuch

der ö sterreichischen Byzantinistik 36 (1986): 117–119, 124 [117–132]. The

ruins of Germia are today found at the village of Y ü rme.

51–52 [40–62].

4. Pantaleon, deacon and chartophylax of Hagia Sophia, compiled a dossier

of Michael’s miracles in the later ninth century: Narratio miraculorum maximi

archangeli Michaelis , PG 140.573–592. Migne did not publish this particular

miracle within his Latin version. Cyril Mango edits this passage drawing

upon Paris gr. 1196 (olim Reg. 1473) and Paris gr. 1510 (“St. Michael

and Attis,” 47–49). For the identity of Pantaleon, PG 140.485–486 and

98.1239–44.

Theodore’s death in 611.

6. Anthropology of pilgrimage proves helpful here. See the various articles

in Sharing Sacred Spaces in the Mediterranean , edited by Dionigi Albera

and Maria Couroucli (Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press, 2012),

particularly Maria Couroucli, “Sharing Sacred Places—A Mediterranean

Tradition,” pp. 7–9 [pp. 1–9]; and Glenn Bowman, “Identification and

Identity Formations around Shared Shrines in West Bank Palestine and

Western Macedonia,” pp. 10–13 [pp. 10–28]. Bowman also speaks to

the problem of the term “syncretism” and its quality of permanency as

opposed to a momentary sharing of practices more characteristic of the

mixed space. Mixed sites are well-documented during the later Ottoman

period and are found today from the Balkans to the Mahgrib. F. W. Hasluck

and Anthropology 19 (2008): 37–59; and “P è lerinages mixtes et sanc-

Moyen-Orient: Espaces publics, espaces du public , edited by Sylvia Chiffoleau

and Anna Madoeuf (Beirut: Institut fran ç ais du Proche–Orient, 2005),

pp. 347–378. Other recent studies remind as to the necessity of contex-

tualizing sites and practices: Robert M. Hayden, “Antagonistic Tolerance:

Competitive Sharing of Religious Sites in South Asia and the Balkans,”

Current Anthropology 43 (2002): 205–231; and “The Byzantine Mosque

at Trilye: a Processual Analysis of Dominance, Sharing, Transformation

and Tolerance,” History and Anthropology 22 (2011): 1–17, along with

The Politics of Possession in Jerusalem’s Holy Sepulchre,” History and

Anthropology 22 (2011): 371–399. Bernhard K ö tting discusses ancient

pagan and Jewish pilgrimage as a background to the Christian phenom-

enon, Peregrinatio Religiosa, Wallfahrten in der Antike und das Pilgerwesen

in der alten Kirche (M ü nster: Regensberg, 1950), pp. 12–68; while

Hagith Sivan speaks to the “gentle communal interaction” of reli-

gions in fourth-century Palestine, one that gave way to tension and

antagonistic confrontation at the beginning of the fifth: Palestine in

Late Antiquity (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008), pp. 23, 16–50.

7. Michael McCormick provides the basic English-language study: Eternal

Victory: Triumphal Rulership in Late Antiquity, Byzantium and the Early Medieval

West (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990). Now see the exhaus-

tive study of Johannes Wienand, Der Kaiser als Sieger, Metamorphosen trium-

phaler Herrschaft unter Constantin I (Berlin: Akademie Verlag GmbH, 2012),

which I only obtained as I finished this manuscript. Wienand’s conclusions

appear to support my own here in this chapter, although I have only been

able to skim his work.

8. Lisa Bitel’s Landscape with Two Saints: How Genovefa of Paris and Brigit of

Kildare Built Christianity in Barbarian Europe (Oxford: Oxford University

Press, 2009) provides a conceptual model here, with its emphasis on human

agency in the landscape as a catalyst for religious change.

9. Johannes Peter Rohland believed that Michael’s Christian roles as physi-

cian and general developed separately from different traditions and circum-

stances, only blending together by the eighth century. In this view, and

wrongly to my mind, Michael’s presence in magic spells primarily led to

his role as Christian thaumaturge while scriptural traditions and impe-

rial patronage brought about his veneration as the angelic commander:

2010) or the articles in Experience of the Sacred , edited by Sumner B. Twiss

and Walter H. Conser, Jr. (Hanover, NH: University Press of New England,

1992). John Wylie reviews the concept of “Landscape Phenomenology”

and provides the basic outline of the theoretical issues in Landscape (New

York: Routledge, 2007), pp. 139–186, while Christopher Tilley deepens the

discussion. See his A Phenomenology of Landscape: Places, Paths and Monuments

(Providence, RI: Berg, 1994), particularly pp. 7–34, for the theoretical per-

spectives. Diana Spencer demonstrates an application of landscape theory

and phenomenology to broader cultural analyses in antiquity, Roman

Landscape: Culture and Identity (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,

2010), while the collected articles in Sacred Gardens and Landscapes: Ritual

and Agency , edited by Michel Conan, Dumbarton Oaks Colloquium on the

History of Landscape Architecture 26 (Washington DC: Dumbarton Oaks

Research Library and Collection, 2007), address the intersection of ritual

and sacred landscape.

13. Mango, “St. Michael and Attis,” 54–55, and “Pilgrimage Center at Germia,”

14. A fundamental characteristic of hagiography as a genre is to rework scrip-

ture for discursive purposes to reflect current circumstances and con-

cerns: Lynda Coon, Sacred Fictions: Holy Women and Hagiography in Late

Antiquity (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1997), particularly

pp. 1–27.

15. Contemporary theologians and scriptural commentators overwhelmingly

dismiss the fourth verse as a “post-Johannine” interpolation, as, e.g., T. L.

Brodie, The Gospel According to John: A Literary and Theological Commentary

(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1993); and R. T. Fortna, The Fourth Gospel

and Its Predecessor (Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1989), pp. 113–117. Tertullian,

however, seems to have known the verse in the third century. In On Baptism

5, Tertullian referenced John 5.4 as a proof-text for his contention that bap-

tism demonstrated the mediating powers of the Holy Spirit as conveyed

through the “new Law” of the Gospels. The angel moving through the

waters of the pool at Bethesda symbolized the mediating power of “carnal”

angels who characterized the Mosaic law of the Old Testament: Tertullian,

Trait é du bapt ê me 5.5, edited and translated by R. F. Refoul é and M. Drouzy,

SC 35 (Paris: É ditions du Cerf, 1952), pp. 74–75. Raymond Brown points to

the likelihood of a gloss having crept into the textual tradition, The Gospel

Doubleday, 1966), p. 207.

connections between the work of Ambrose and Cyril: “Did St. Ambrose

Know the Mystagogic Catecheses of St. Cyril of Jerusalem?” Studia Patristica

surely knew source material used by Cyril.

21. Mary Beard uses the phrase “rituals in ink,” The Roman Triumph (Cambridge:

Harvard University Press, 2007), p. 292, when pointing to the historical

problem of analyzing “ceremony as performed and ceremony as written.”

Lynda Coon discusses the pitfalls of the genre of hagiography and its dis-

cursive characteristics ( Sacred Fictions ). The observations as to Merovingian

hagiography made by Marc van Uytfanghe, “L’hagiographie et son pub-

emendations.

principal source for this section. G. Schoo, Die Quellen des Kirchenhistorikers

Narratio de miraculo a Michaele Archangelo Chonis patrato , Greek edition and

Latin translation by Max Bonnet, Analecta Bollandiana 8 (1889): 289–307.

The earliest known redaction of this text is preserved as the underwrit-

ing in eighth-century uncials found on folia 14, 11, 24, 27, 5, 4, and 3 of

Paris, suppl. 480: Miraculum Sancti Michaelis Archangeli in Conas , in “Analyse

edited by Fran ç ois Nau, Patrologia Orientalis , IV(5).19, pp. 231–278. All cita-

tions are from Bonnet’s text with occasional use of Nau for clarification. All

translations are my own.

39. Glenn Peers also notes the traces of various editions. He situates the final

redaction in the eighth century, owing to reflections of the Iconoclastic

Controversy that he discerns in the text, “Apprehending the Archangel

Michael: Hagiographic Methods,” Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies

20 (1996): 100–121; and Subtle Bodies, Representing Angels in Byzantium

(Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001), p. 143. I have arrived inde-

pendently at conclusions about the Chonae legend, which are much the

same as those of Cline, Ancient Angels , pp. 131–133. See my unpublished

46. As Peers suggests ( Subtle Bodies , p. 161). Ramsay, however, located it at

Keretapa, six miles east of the headwaters of the Indos River, which flows

toward Lycia, The Church in the Roman Empire before A.D. 170 (Grand Rapids:

Baker Book House, 1979 [1897]), p. 468.

47. Peers argues that the text edited by Bonnet and Nau was fashioned from

preexisting sources to support the position of eighth-century Iconoclasts.

In his analysis, the figure of the ascetic Archippos serves as an actual human

model of perfection as opposed to that encountered through visual images

of angels and saints ( Subtle Bodies , pp. 143–144). Victor Saxer pointed to the

affinities between the angelic invocations in the Beta and Gamma sections

and the credal formula mentioned by Justin Martyr, with Michael petitioned

alongside the Divine Triad. Saxer also called attention to the adjustment of

this adjuration to reflect Trinitarian teachings promulgated in the fourth cen-

tury, with Michael made to beseech the Trinity on behalf of clients: “Jalons

pour servir à l’histoire du culte de l’archange Saint Michel en orient jusqu’à

l’Iconoclasme,” in Noscere Sancta, Miscellanea in memoria di Agostino Amore

OFM (+ 1982) , edited by Isaac V á zquez Janeiro OFM (Rome: Pontificium

Athenaeum Antonianum, 1985), pp. 386–390 [pp. 357–426]. Furthermore,

the first three chapters constitute a self-contained miracle testimony of the

sort frequently posted at ancient healing shrines: Petsalis-Diomidis, “The

Body in Space,” pp. 207–217. The phrase “Ninety years later” placed at the

beginning of the Delta section clearly demarcates it from the remainder of

the text, which emphasizes Archippos and his connection with the site. It

is safe to conclude that the first three chapters comprise an early version of

the story later reworked to suit the needs of post-Nicene orthodoxy.

48. The hagiographer seems to have made use of legends regarding Philip’s

entrance into nearby Hierapolis, such as the account included in the Acta

Philippi 13, CCSA 11, edited by Fran ç ois Bovon, Bertrand Bouvier, and

Fr é d é ric Amsler (Turnhout: Brepols, 1999), pp. 310–317. These are in turn

conflated with traditions regarding the exploits of John the Theologue

in Ephesus, Acta Iohannis , CCSA 1–2, edited by Eric Junod and Jean-

Daniel Kaestli (Turnhout: Brepols, 1983); also Hansgerd Hellenkemper,

Trait é des principes I.8.1, edited and translated by Henri Crouzel and Manlio

the idea of Michael as the custodian of prayers from 3 Bar.1–12, text in Sparks,

The Apocryphal Old Testament , pp. 904–914, with discussion and bibliography

(pp. 897–903). Origen may very well have referenced the Talmudic Michael

as High Priest enacting the heavenly liturgy. The exegete certainly delineated

the earthly services of the Levites as an emanation of a heavenly angelic per-

formance: Athanas Recheis, Engel, Tod und Seelenreise , Temi e Testi 4 (Rome:

(Oslo: A.W. Br ø gger, 1956), pp. 7–8. Wolfram Kinzig presents an exhaustive

refutation of the author’s identity as that of the Arian apologist Asterius

the Sophist. He also denies the presence in the text of either an Arian or

Nicene theological perspective: In Search of Asterius, Studies on the Authorship

of the Homilies on the Psalms (G ö ttingen: Vandenhoeck and Ruprecht, 1990).

Kinzig does present a brief analysis of the angelology of the homilies, and

his findings agree with that found in texts more securely identified as Arian

(pp. 150–153).

or a fitting vehicle of salvation and answers that Satan is not even the equal

of the angels, thus implying that Christ by far is superior to them all.

4.16 to prove the created status of the Son: “For the Lord himself, with

a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s

trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”

The Arian Varimadus interpreted the passage to state that the archangel

ordered Christ to descend for the Final Judgment.

4 The Politics of Angelic Sanctity

1. Liber de apparitione de Sancti Michaelis in Monte Gargano , edited by Georg

Waitz, MGH SRL, pp. 541–543 (BHL 5948). English translation by

Richard F. Johnson, Saint Michael the Archangel in Medieval English Legend

(Woodbridge, UK/Rochester, NY: Boydell and Brewer, 2005), pp. 110–115.

Supposed epigraphs that would identify Garganus with Elvius Emmanuelis

(d. 528), an actual magister militum who lived in nearby Siponto in 506, don’t

appear to exist: Giorgio Otranto, “Il ‘Liber de apparitione,’ il santuario di

san Michele sul Gargano e i Longobardi del Ducato di Benevento,” in

Santuari e politica nel mondo antico , edited by Marta Sordi (Milan: Universit à

cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 1983), pp. 215–216 [pp. 210–245]. Giovanni

Bronzini more aptly suggested Garganus to be a symbolic eponymous hero

despite his unpersuasive attempt to connect him with a Frankish folk char-

acter: “La Puglia e le sue tradizioni in proiezione storica,” Archivio storico

pugliese 21 (1968): 89–90 [83–117].

2. Wolfgang von Rintelen uses the term “Legend migration,” “Kult- und

Legendenwanderung von Ost nach West im Fr ü hen Mittelalter,” Saeculum

22 (1971): 71–88. The eminent Lombardist Gian Piero Bognetti preferred

the term esaugurazione , or “growing out of ”: “I <<Loca sanctorum>> e

la storia della chiesa nel regno dei Longobardi,” L’et à longobarda 3 (Milan:

Giuffrè , 1967), p. 310.

9. Francesco Fischetti, Mercurio, Mithra, Michael (Monte Sant’ Angelo: Tip. La

10. John Charles Arnold delineates a fifth- or sixth-century redaction based

on internal evidence, “Arcadia Becomes Jerusalem: Angelic Caverns and

Shrine Conversion at Monte Gargano,” Speculum 75 (2000): 567–588,

while Nicholas Everett sees in the manuscript history evidence for an

initial redaction in the mid-eighth-century, “The Liber de Apparitione

S. Michaelis in Monte Gargano and the Hagiography of Dispossession,”

Analecta bollandiana 120 (2002): 364–391. The two views are hardly incom-

patible, as the Liber mentions a preexisting libellus . Giorgio Otranto desig-

nates the “Bull,” “Battle,” and “Dedication” divisions, perhaps most clearly

in “Genesi, caratteri e diffusione del culto micaelico del Gargano,” in Culte

et p è lerinages à Saint Michel en occident, les trois monts d é di é s à l’Archange ,

18. Abandoned in the eighth century, the ruins of Siponto today lie west of

Manfredonia, some 55 miles north of Bari on the southern side of the

Garganic promontory. For archeological data and material culture remains,

see the various articles in Siponto Antica , edited by Marina Mazzei (Foggia:

C. Grenzi, 1999). Giuliano Volpe places Siponto’s development within the

context of late-antique Apulia, Contadini, pastori e mercanti nell’Apulia tar-

doantica (Bari: Edipuglia, 1996), pp. 121–123, as does Jean-Marie Martin,

La Pouille du VIe au XIIe si è cle (Rome: É cole fran ç aise de Rome, 1993),

pp. 113–160. Giorgio Otranto discusses Siponto and its relationship with

Monte Gargano, Italia meridionale e Puglia paleocristiane: Saggi storici (Bari:

19. Asserted in the two Lives of St. Laurence , with the first dated to the early

371–372.

20. Vita S. Laurentii 1: when Theodoric King of the Goths “struggled bitterly

21. Otranto insists that Siponto played an important role in the origin and

development of the shrine, although he notes the role of prominent patrons

in the building of Michaeline churches in late-antique Apulia, Italia meridi-

onale , pp. 187–197. Valerie Ramseyer makes clear how little influence the

urban bishops like Laurence had on the rural countryside, The Transformation

of a Religious Landscape, Medieval Southern Italy 850–1150 (Ithaca: Cornell

University Press, 2006), particularly pp. 37–42.

cussion of the vici of late-antique Apulia and pp. 192–194 specifically for

the Gargano; also pp. 276–296 for the importance of the local wool and

weaving industry.

23. Gioia Bertelli et al. address the road system of the Gargano and provide

detailed maps: “Sulle tracce dei Longobardi in Puglia: alcune testimo-

nianze,” I Longobardi del Sud , edited by Giuseppi Roma (Rome: Giorgio

Bretschneider Editore, 2010), pp. 344–348 [pp. 343–389], as does Volpe, with

particular attention to the road system ( Contadini , pp. 73–83). Jean-Marie

Martin describes late-antique Puglian topography and infrastructure gener-

ally and the Gargano specifically ( Pouille , pp. 117–119).

24. Martin, Pouille , pp. 117–119, for the Gargano and pp. 113–160 for Apulia as

a whole. Louis Duchesne remains useful, “Les é v ê ch é s d’Italie et l’invasion

lombarde,” M é langes d’arch é ologie et d’histoire 23 (1903): 104–107 [83–116].

Otranto discusses the process of Christianization and diocesan formation

( Italia meridionale , pp. 3–94).

25. Liber 4. Johnson translates conlatio as “discussion,” but the traditional mean-

ing of “pooling of resources” seems more appropriate for this context ( Saint

Michael the Archangel in Medieval English Legend , p. 113). Ramseyer’s descrip-

tion of the ecclesiastical organization of late-antique and early-medieval

Salerno well fits that of Apulia, especially her discussions of consortia and

private foundations: The Transformation of a Religious Landscape, pp. 7–11,

62–68, and passim. Also, John Philip Thomas, Private Religious Foundations

tence on angelic constancy ( Angels in Late Ancient Christianity , pp. 43–56).

36. Andrea Schaller makes the point that pre-tenth-century images of Michael

refer not to Michael himself, but to Christ. The point works quite well

41. The “Gallican Liturgy” associated with Merovingian Gaul speaks of such

liturgical cloths. The only purported ordines for this service appear in two

letters attributed to a Germanus, presumably the bishop of Paris 555–576

(dates in Oxford Dictionary of Christianity , s.v. “Germanus”). Klaus Gamber

has edited and published them as Ordo Antiquus Gallicanus: Der gallikanische

Me ß ritus des 6. Jahrhunderts (Regensburg: F. Pustet, 1965). While the date

of the texts and their evidentiary value are hotly contested and the let-

ters likely present major divergences from sixth/seventh-century liturgical

practice in Gaul, they cannot be completely discounted as evidence for

the Merovingian liturgy. For a discussion of the sources and bibliography,

century churches of Ravenna, as well as to the mosaic of Michael in San

Apollinare in Classe (pp. 223–225), an interpretation generally rejected by

Deliyannis ( Ravenna , pp. 259–274). Angelika Michael, Das Apsismosaik von

S. Apollinare in Classe (Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang, 2005) sees the art

as an affirmation of Orthodoxy, even without overt anti-Arianism, as does

regalia, including the wearing of purple cloaks by palace eunuchs, in The

Perfect Servant—Eunuchs and the Social Construction of Gender in Byzantium

(Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003), pp. 175–177, and 142–183

more generally. Angelika Michael addresses the hierarchical and liturgical

dimensions of the Transfiguration mosaic at Classe and its positioning with

respect to that of St. Apollinaris. Her ideas prove useful for a reading of the

Michael image, Das Apsismosaik , pp. 63–90, 129–188.

85. Cyril Mango suggests the analogy with the praepositus : Byzantium: The

C. Fanning, “Lombard Arianism Reconsidered,” Speculum 56 (1981):

241–258, although much of his evidence derives from papal rhetoric and

the vita of St. Barbatus of Benevento. Gian Piero Bognetti, who stressed

Lombard Arianism, spoke of phases of conversion, seeing the entire ethnic

group to move from Catholicism to Arianism and back again, “S. Maria

Foris Portas di Castelseprio e la storia religiosa dei Longobardi,” Santa

Maria di Castelseprio (Milan: Fondazione Treccani degli Alfieri per la storia

di Milano, 1948), pp. 33–34; Bognetti emphasized the Archangel’s role in

the downfall of Arianism, but had to acknowledge Michael’s ambiguity

“transformation” model as opposed to that of “decline and fall,” Barbarian

Tides (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006), as does

James J. O’Donnell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.07.69, http://

bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2005/2005-07-69.html (accessed July 24, 2012).

O’Donnell reviews Peter Heather’s The Fall of the Roman Empire: A

New History (London: Pan MacMillan, 2005), and Bryan Ward-Perkins’s

The Fall of Rome and the End of Civilization (Oxford: Oxford University

Press, 2005), both of which tend toward the “decline and fall” model.

Paul Halsall makes the case for “transformation,” in Barbarian Migrations

and the Roman West 376–568 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,

2007) as does Chris Wickham, Framing the Early Middle Ages, Europe and

the Mediterranean 400–800 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005). For

the Frankish settlement, see Edward James, The Franks (Oxford: Oxford

University Press, 1988), and Ian Wood, The Merovingian Kingdoms (London:

Longman, 1994), who includes as well a brief discussion of the Burgundian

settlement (pp. 8–13). Justin Favrod presents an expansive analysis of the

Burgundian foundation, Histoire politique du royaume Burgonde (443–534) ,

7. Yitzhak Hen, Culture and Religion in Merovingian Gaul, AD 481–751 (Leiden:

Brill, 1995), presents the most forceful argument for this swift and thorough

Christianization of Gaul, especially pp. 154–206. Hen’s “maximalist” posi-

tion conflicts with recent analyses of the exceptionally slow Christianization

of Hispania as discerned in the archeological record: Michael Kulikowski,

Late Roman Spain and Its Cities (Baltimore: John Hopkins University Press,

2010), pp. 215–255. James sees a lengthier process for Gaul ( Franks , pp. 121–

128). Wickham ( Framing ) and Halsall ( Barbarian Migrations ) both insist on

regional variations as a basic analytical principle for the early medieval

West. Felice Lifshitz concurs with Hen’s suggestion that shifting perceptions

as to “proper” Christianity led to eighth-century characterizations of the

Merovingian Church as lax, “pagan,” and “barbaric”: The Norman Conquest

of Pious Neustria (Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1995),

12. For an amulet from the Cairene market, refer to London Hay 10122, a

generic gynecological spell dating from the mid-seventh century incorpo-

rating drawn figures, ring letters, signs, and at least fifteen legible angelic

names. It comprised part of an archive of five amulets written by the

same scribe, all for generic clients, and surely offered to the public on the

thriving amulet market operating within Old Cairo: W. E. Crum, “Magical

knew well. One was an early Latin version of the Transitus Mariae of which

deathbed, “Jesus came with his angels, and receiving her soul, he handed it

Translated by M. Whittaker in Sparks, The Apocryphal Old Testament , pp. 733–

751. The text, which dates to the third century and apparently circulated

only in Greek, has much in common with the weltanschauung of the magic

papyri.

68. While Giselle De Nie had characterized these amulets as “magical” when

she wrote Views from a Many-Windowed Tower , p. 228, she later understood

that within the context of sixth-century Gaul, these sorts of practices were

“Christian” because they drew upon “divine” power based in Scripture.

“Pagan magic” appealed to diabolical power: “Caesarius of Arles and Gregory

of Tours: Two Sixth-Century Gallic Bishops and ‘Christian Magic,’” in Word,

the canons of Laodicea entered Gaul through the older Dionysia rather

than the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals (long attributed to Isidore of Seville),

or the later Dionysia-Hadriana collection received from Pope Hadrian at

Charlemagne’s request. For the Dionysia and Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals, see

80. It has not yet disappeared, as seen with Thomas Cahill’s How the Irish Saved

Civilization (New York: Anchor Books, 1995), although that book’s con-

tents do not adhere to this position quite as rigidly as the title would sug-

gest. Felice Lifshitz uses the terms “iromania,” “irophilia,” or “insularophilia”

when clearly delineating this historiographical position, its formation, and

its purposes ( The Norman Conquest of Pious Neustria , pp. 72–99).

the insights of Brian Lambkin, “Blathmac and the C é ili D é ; a Reappraisal,”

Celtica 23 (1999): 132–154. Lambkin challenges a Culdee rejection of

the secular world as articulated by O’Dwyer, C é l í D é , pp. 1–28. O’Dwyer

understood the desire of the C é li D é to recover the original inspiration

of the anchoritic movement, but disagreed with Kathleen Hughes’s asser-

tion that the Culdees constituted actual self-contained communities ( The

120. The composition of Revelatio is dated from c. 816 to c. 867. Pierre Bouet

opts for the earlier date, “La Revelatio et les origines du culte à Saint Michel

sur le Mont Tombe,” Culte et p è lerinages , pp. 65–90, while Nicholas Simonnet

presents an equally plausible argument for the latter, “La fondation du Mont-

Saint-Michel d’apr è s la ‘Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis,’” Annales de

Bretagne et des Pays de l’Ouest 106 (1999): 7–23. For Bouet, the work origi-

nates in the aftermath of the Council of Aachen (816), which imposed the

Institutio canicorum on all cathedral and basilican communities. According to

its canon 101, all members of those communities fell under the direction

of the local bishop. The then bishop of Avranches asserted his authority by

means of this hagiographical history of the foundation. Simmonet sees its

genesis in the years 850–867 when, as the Mount began to come under

Breton domination, the bishop of Avranches used the text to support tradi-

tional Frankish claims to the region.

121. John James G. Alexander establishes the date at 708 with dedication in

St.-Michel (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1970), p. 1, n. 1. Chadwick, “The

Evidence of Dedications in the Early History of the Welsh Church,” p. 184,

1. This material on Aldebert has appeared as “The Containment of Angels:

Boniface, Aldebert, and the Roman Synod of 745,” Quaestiones medii aevi

novae 17 (2013): 211–242. I thank the editor Prof. Wojciech Falkowski

for its inclusion here. The entire protocol of the synod is published as

Ep. 59, St. Bonifatii et Lulli Epistolae , edited by Michael Tangl, MGH Ep.

Sel. I, pp. 108–120. Translated by Ephraim Emerton, The Letters of Saint

Boniface , with a new introduction and bibliography by T. F. X. Noble

(New York: Columbia University Press, 2000), pp. 76–85. Aldebert

was tried along with the “Scot” Clemens, who was accused of sexual

indiscretions and the teaching of the salvation of all, even the unbap-

tized. Aldebert’s sacrilega figures prominently in Michael Glatthaar’s

Bonifatius und das Sakrileg , Freiburger Beitr ä ge zur mittelalterlichen

Geschichte 17 (Frankfort am Main: Peter Lang, 2004), pp. 146–164.

2. The bibliography on this topic is enormous. For a recent summary of the

major concepts, see Thomas F. X. Noble, Images, Iconoclasm, and the Carolingians

(Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009), pp. 230–242; and

The Republic of St. Peter, the Birth of the Papal State 680–825 (Philadelphia:

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1984), pp. 61–98. Also, Rosamond

McKitterick, The Frankish Church and the Carolingian Reforms, 789–895

(London: Royal Historical Society, 1977), pp. 80–154; Walter Ullman, The

Carolingian Renaissance and the Idea of Kingship (London: Methuen & Co, Ltd.,

1969), pp. 43–110; J. M. Wallace-Hadrill, “The Via Regia of the Carolingian

age,” Early Medieval History (London: Basil Blackwell, 1975), pp. 181–200.

Felice Lifshitz rightly discerns the demonic as a perversion of the ordo pur-

sued by Carolingian rulers and discusses a political discourse that embodied

these concerns to emanate from Carolingian circles during the early eighth

century ( The Norman Conquest of Pious Neustria , pp. 56–71).

3. Timothy Reuter used the phrase “canonical rightness” in his “Saint Boniface

and Europe,” in The Greatest Englishman , edited by Timothy Reuther (Exeter:

The Paternoster Press, 1980), p. 80 [pp. 71–94], when translating Willibald’s

canonica rectitudo , Vita Bonifatii 46, AASS June I.469. The standard modern

biography of Boniface remains Theodor Schieffer’s Winfrid-Bonifatius und die

christliche Grundlegung Europas (Freiburg: Herder, 1954). John-Henry Clay

summarizes the career of Boniface, using a lengthy bibliography of English

and German works, as he centers his analysis of the conversion mission to

Hessia around the phenomonology of landscape. See In the Shadow of Death:

Saint Boniface and the Conversion of Hessia, 721–54 , Cultural Encounters in

Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages 11 (Turnholt: Brepols, 2010), pp. 189–

236 and pp. 19–54, for Bonifatian historiography. For other basic and acces-

sible English introductions to Boniface and his work, see T. F. X. Noble’s

introduction to Emerton’s The Letters of Saint Boniface , pp. vii–xxxv; and

John Sladden’s Boniface of Devon (Exeter: The Paternoster Press, 1980), which

unfortunately lacks a scholarly apparatus, as well as J. M. Wallace-Hadrill,

ven ç ales et fran ç aise de la Lettre du Christ tomb é e du Ciel,” Analecta bol-

landiana 68 (1950): 383–396.

5. Patrick Geary construes him in this positive light: “The Ninth-Century Relic

Trade: A Response to Popular Piety,” in Religion and the People 800–1700 ,

edited by James Obelkevich (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina

Press, 1979), p. 10. Geary’s characterization builds upon Peter Brown’s now

Centro Italiano di Studi sull’Alto Medioevo 28.1 (Spoleto: Centro italiano

as one of “the numerous wandering bishops who opposed the strongly

pro-Roman ecclesiastical structure espoused by Boniface,” “The Ninth-

Century Relic Trade,” p. 11. Nicole Zeddies is rather too quick to dismiss

Manselli’s contentions as pushing the evidence too far, “Bonifatius und

nies, Litanei-Handschriften der Karolingerzeit , MGH Hilfsmittel 24 (Hannover:

Hann’sche Buchhandlung, 2007), and her designation of the Litany of

Soissons as “eine der ä ltesten kontinentalen Litaneien” (p. 20). Jeffrey Russell

discusses it, “Saint Boniface and the Eccentrics,” Church History 33 (1964):

238 [235–247].

23. Maurice Coens summarizes the evidence for its Soissonais origin in

“Anciennes litanies des saints,” Analecta Bollandiana 62 (1944): 130–

131 [126–168]. Glatthaar calls Soisson Aldebert’s “Hochburg”: Bonifatius und

das Sakrileg , p. 153.

24. Eugen Ewig, pointing to the 23 Neustrian bishops present at the Council

of Soissons, notes in the litany the prominence of saints from the metro-

politan province of Rheims (which includes Soissons) as well as the lack

of saints from Austrasian dioceses and infers its performance at that royal

gathering: “Beobachtungen zur Entwicklung der fr ä nkischen Reichskirche

unter Chrodegang von Metz,” Fr ü hmittelalterliche Studien 2 (1968): 74–77

[67–77].

25. Russell makes the suggestion, “Saint Boniface and the Eccentrics,” p. 238,

drawing upon Henri Leclercq’s linkage of these names with Gnostic sects, s.

v. Anges , in Dictionnaire d’arch é ologie chr é tienne et de liturgie , edited by Fernand

Cabrol and Henri Leclercq, vol. 1 (Paris: Letouzey et An é , 1903), cols. 2153–

2157 [2080–2161]. Certainly Irenaeus of Lyon’s second-century treatise

Adversus haereses meticulously catalogued lists of suspect angels when iden-

tifying and refuting “Gnostic” sects, but the small number of early medieval

manuscripts would point to its exceptionally limited circulation. E. A. Lowe

did not index Irenaeus in his comprehensive study of pre-ninth-century

manuscripts: Codices Latini Antiquores, Supplementum (Oxford: Clarendon

Press, 1966). Dominic Unger notes only a ninth-century manuscript pre-

pared at Corbie and another dating from 1166, but copied from an earlier

1901), pp. 661–664: Insuper invocamus te, Deus Deorum, omnipotens rex aeterne,

qui sedis in medio duos Cherubin as Seraphin . The exorcism to which Flint

compares the angelic petition, however, only calls upon the specific angels

Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, along with the “celestial virtues and angels

of God,” the Cherubim, and the Seraphim. It makes no recourse to a more

exotic nomenclature.

47. Fulda Landesbibliothek, Codex Bonifatius 2. The Decretum Gelasianum ,

cap. 3–5 appears on 57r–61v. Lutz E. von Padberg and Hans-Walter Stork

provide text, background and commentary: Der Ragyndrudis—Codex des Hl.

Bonifatius (Paderborn: Bonifatius Druck-Buch-Verlag, 1994).

48. Michel Aaij summarizes the scholarly arguments for and against Bonifatian

ownership as well as the book’s connections with the martyrdom: “Boniface’s

Booklife: How the Ragyndrudis Codex Came to be a Vita Bonifatii ,” The

Heroic Age: A Journal of Early Medieval Northwestern Europe , issue 10 (May

2007), http://www.mun.ca/mst/heroicage/issues/10/aaij.html . Aaij does,

however, ignore the paleographical and codicological evidence as well as per-

sonal connections that point toward insular, and quite plausible Bonifatian,

connections with the book. See, e.g., Malcolm Parkes, “The Handwriting

of St. Boniface,” Beitr ä ge zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und Literatur 98

(1976): 161–179. Rosamond McKitterick, points to the insular dotting on

115v and 117r, and the frequent “diminuendo effect” on 117r in “The dif-

fusion of insular culture in Neustria between 650 and 850,” as well as the

personal connections, “Anglo-Saxon Missionaries in Germany: Reflections

on the Manuscript Evidence,” in Books, Scribes, and Learning in the Frankish

Kingdoms, 6th–9th centuries (Aldershot/Burlington: Ashgate, 1994), III.415
