Abstract | Medieval Miracle Accounts and Miracle Collections have become increasingly popular and are being used by researchers from all kind of scholarly traditions. This fruitful and inspiring variety of research 'ad fontes' has however also left many questions of method and theory aside. Analytical guidelines and 'working-tools' are largely still to be considered as desiderata. |
