De ortu sancti Bartholomei . Legenden über Herkunft und Bekehrung des heiligen Bartholomäus

Abstract

On the basis of the legendaries of Petrus de Natalibus and Petrus Calo Astrid Krüger examines the largely unknown legends about the origins and conversion of the apostle Bartholomew. Whereas the legend of his conversion is closely related to the Martyrium and serves as a sort of commentary on it, the story of the apostle’s origins is based on the motif of the apocryphal legend of the “girl without hands”, which made its way into international fairy-tale literature.
