„I love Justine so much that I can not be without her…“ The metamorphose of the narration from passio to hagiographic romance
Zajíčková, Vendula
There is no article in Legenda aurea or in old Czech Passional which has its pattern from Christian ancient times when acta and passions were creating. The genological prototype of acta has not been reflected in later periods. In spite of this, the prototype of passio is evident with its original topoi (“idols, or torture to death”, imitatio Christi, ancilla Dei, sponsa Christi, desire to death) and the dialogue, which was developer from original examination of Christian by Roman high official. On the hagiographic text about Saint Justine and Saint Cyprian was proved the features of magical novel (Zauberroman). The tendency to narrativity rose up during High Middle Ages, the topoi of beauty and noble birth were added. The character of devil was changed: from the pagan as the (d)evil´s instrument transformed into the personificationed devil.
