NOTES
1 The Problem with Michael
1 . Bernardus monachus francus, Itinerarium 18, PL 121.574; F. Avril and
J.-R. Gaborit discuss the pilgrimage, “L’Itinerarium Bernardi monachi et
les pèlerinages d’Italie du Sud pendant le Haut-Moyen-Âge,” M é langes
d’arch é ologie et d’histoire 79 (1967): 269–298. The hagiographical Revelatio
ecclesiae de sancti Michaelis details the foundation of Mont Saint-Michel
by St. Aubert of Avranches, Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis archangeli in
Monte qui dicitur Tumba V, edited by Pierre Bouet and Olivier Desbordes,
Chroniques latines du Mont Saint-Michel (IXe–XIIe si è cle), vol. 1
(Caen: Presses universitaires de Caen, 2009), pp. 98–99. All Latin citations
are from Bouet’s edition. Mabillon’s edition is published as Apparitio de
Sancti Michaelis in Monte Tumba , AASS, September 8.76–79, which John
Charles Arnold translates into English: “The ‘Revelatio Ecclesiae de Sancti
Michaelis’ and the Mediterranean Origins of Mont St.-Michel,” The Heroic
Age 10 (May 2007), http://www.mun.ca/mst/heroicage/issues/10/arnold.
html . All English citations are from that publication. The Bayeux Tapestry
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/
Bayeux8.htm .
2 . For the most recent analysis of Notre-Dame-sous-Terre, see Christian
Sapin, Maylis Bayl é et al., “Arch é ologie du b â ti et arch é om é trie au Mont-
Saint-Michel, nouvelles approches de Notre-Dame-sous-Terre,” Arch é ologie
m é di é vale 38 (2008): 71–122 and 94 and 97 for the mortar of the “cyclo-
pean” wall. Sapin includes a historiography of interpretations that now must
be modified or discarded: Florence Margo, “Les crypts romanes du Mont
Saint–Michel, Ordonnance des espaces,” Espace ecclésial et liturgie au Moyen
 ge (Lyon: La Maison de l’Orient et de la M é diterran é e, 2010), pp. 369–
378; Michel de Bo ü ard, “L’ É glise N ô tre–Dame–sous–Terre au Mont Saint–
Michel,” Journal de Savants (1961): 10–27; Yves-Marie Froidevaux, “L’ É glise
N ô tre–Dame–sous–Terre de l’abbaye du Mont–Saint–Michel,” Monuments
historiques de la France 7 (1961): 145–166; and Paul Go û t, Le Mont-Saint-
Michel , vol. 2 (Paris: A. Colin, 1910).

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

pp. 26–28. Shaul Shaked argues for a close understanding of the Zoroastrian
system of religious thought and its incorporation within documents from

Jews as magical specialists. Louis Golomb, An Anthropology of Curing in

that in Thai society, the population in the religious majority often seeks
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.

presses for the common Hellenic term angelos . See Cline, Ancient Angels ,
pp. 65–69, for Phrygian examples and pp. 47–76 for a discussion of all of
these “angels.”
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
Page 12
N OT E S152
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

raphy, Jesus and the Angels, Angelology and the Christology of the Apocalypse of
John , Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series 95 (Cambridge:

term “divine identity” to explain the emergence of a divine Christ within
Jewish monotheism apart from reliance on hypostatizations or semidivine
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).

(T ü bingen: J. C. B. Mohr, 1999). Hannah used the controversial term
“angel Christology” rather than “angelomorphic Christology” in the belief
that some early Christians did think of Christ as an angel (pp. 137–162).

136. Carrell ( Jesus and the Angels , pp. 53–70) discusses characteristics of scrip-

but his observations enlighten as to angelophanies (pp. 204–206; p. 135
for the connection with Daniel). See as well Christopher Rowland, “A

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),

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,
which further explores the implications of the “miniaturizing” process.

ment as a liturgical formula and notes a similar one made by Athenagoras,
The Christian Tradition: A History of the Development of Doctrine 1 (Chicago:
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

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

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

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.

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

surely knew source material used by Cyril.

emendations.

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

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

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

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

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

the source of healing away from the sacred landscape itself onto the holy

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-

of Arian and Trinitarian discourses; also Rebecca Lyman, “A Topography
of Heresy: Mapping the Rhetorical Creation of Arianism,” in Arianism

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).

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.

calendrier d’Oxyrhynque pour l’ann é e 535–536,” Analecta Bollandiana
42 (1924): 83–99. The Coptic liturgy used the term Archistrategos , as
pointed out by Caspar Detlef Gustav M ü ller, Die Engellehre der koptischen
Kirche (Wiesbaden, 1959), p. 19. For the Coptic account of Michael’s
“Installation,” see M ü ller’s edition and German translation: Die B ü cher der

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
Garganica, 1973), pp. 15–19, sees the cavern as an abandoned and trans-
formed pagan temple.
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:
Edipuglia, 1991), pp. 187–202.
19. Asserted in the two Lives of St. Laurence , with the first dated to the early
eleventh c. and the second to the later eleventh c. For both vitae , see AASS,
February II.57–62. Ada Campione, “Storia e santit à nelle due Vitae di
Lorenzo vescovo di Siponto,” Vetera Christianorum 29 (1992): 169–213, dis-
cusses the dates, as does Nicholas Everett, “ Hagiography of Dispossession,”
371–372.
20. Vita S. Laurentii 1: when Theodoric King of the Goths “struggled bitterly
with Odoacer the King of the Herulis,” AASS Feb. 2.57. For background,
refer to John Moorhead, Theoderic in Italy (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991),
pp. 6–31; along withThomas Burns, A History of the Ostrogoths (Bloomington:

the Goths , translated by Thomas J. Dunlap (Berkeley: University of California
Press, 1988), pp. 278–284.
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.
22. Eberhard Gothein addresses the importance of transhumance in the
area, Die Kulturentwicklung S ü d-Italiens in Einzeldarstellungen (Breslau: W.
Koebner, 1886), pp. 41–45. See Volpe, Contadini , pp. 147–196, for a dis-
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

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,

mass: “Defend your people prostrate before you and with all your heart

Die Bilder der Orthodoxen im Kampf gegen den Arianismus (Frankfurt am Main:
Peter Lang, 1983), attributes an anti-Arian inspiration to most of the sixth-
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

mosaics and those of the triumphal arch at Classe ( Ravenna , pp. 265–270)
and also for Justinian’s depiction at San Vitale and the hierarchical implica-
tions of the clothing (pp. 236–243). Kathryn M. Ringrose speaks to the
distinctions of hierarchy and space as indicated by courtly clothing and
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
Empire of New Rome (New York: Scribner, 1980), pp. 154–155. Ringrose

( The Perfect Servant , pp. 142–183).

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
and appeal to all, “I <Loca Sanctorum> e la storia della Chiesa nel regno
dei Longobardi,” L’Et à longobarda 3 (Milan: Giufr é , 1967), pp. 334–335.

“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),

knew well. One was an early Latin version of the Transitus Mariae of which
he made use when he recounted the Assumption of the Virgin in Glory of
the Martyrs . In Gregory’s retelling, as the apostles kept vigil around Mary’s
deathbed, “Jesus came with his angels, and receiving her soul, he handed it
to the angel Michael and then departed.” A recital of the discovery of the

the driving force of history, maintaining that Gregory constructed a model
of historical writing around paired characters and events that represented
divine power in conflict with diabolical power (ibid., pp. 101 ff.).

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,
Image and Experience: Dynamics of Miracle and Self–Perception in Sixth–Century
Gaul (Burlington, VT: Ashgate/Variorum, 2003), V.173–78.

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

pp. 544–546 [pp. 533–571]. Philippe Faure modifies this position to admit
Monte Gargano alongside the “celtic lands” as the “twin poles” for the cult’s
northern diffusion: “L’ange du haut Moyen Âge occidental (IVe–IXe si è-
cles): création ou tradition?” Médiévales 15 (1988): 39 [31–49].

something of a Lombard “national” saint: “I ‘Loca Sanctorum’ e la storia
della Chiesa nel regno dei Longobardi,” pp. 334–335.
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).
81. See the various articles in Columbanus and Merovingian Monasticism , edited

82. Recent conferences have brought together scholars of both Mont Saint-
Michel and Monte Gargano: Culte et p è lerinages à Saint Michel and Culto

decades.

Organisation in Ireland, AD 650–1000 (Maynooth: Laigin Publications,

trol coexisting with that of abbots and patrons. Richard Sharpe discusses the

Ireland,” Peritia 3 (1984): 230–270, as he critiques Kathleen Hughes’s

106. Bertram Colgrave, The Life of Bishop Wilfrid by Eddius Stephanus (Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press, 1985). The identification of the author stems
from Bede, Ecclesiastical History IV.2, who speaks of an Æ ddi or Stephanus
invited from Canterbury to Northumbria by Wilfrid, although D. P. Kirby
concludes otherwise: “Bede, Eddius Stephanus and the ‘Life of Wilfrid,’”

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

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

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.

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

University of Pennsylvania Press, 1984), pp. 61–98. Also, Rosamond
McKitterick, The Frankish Church and the Carolingian Reforms, 789–895

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

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

et al., edited by Jean Mabillon in Vetera analecta (Farnborough: Gregg, 1967
reprint), pp. 170–171. See Astrid Kr ü ger for the most recent work on lita-
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

Lyon: Against the Heresies , vol. 1, Ancient Christian Writers Series 15 (New
York: Paulist Press, 1992), pp. 11–14. Karen. L. King’s What is Gnosticism
(Cambridge: Belknap Press, 2003), maps the current scholarly dilemma as to
overarching definitions of “Gnostic-ism.”

Giovan Domenico Mansi and Philippe Labbe, Sacrorum conciliorum nova et

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.

48. Michel Aaij summarizes the scholarly arguments for and against Bonifatian
ownership as well as the book’s connections with the martyrdom: “Boniface’s

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
