Excellent- More about Irenaeus of Sirmium and His Story in the Medieval East and West: Remembering a Lesser Saint

The study of hagiographies has traditionally focused on the more prominent saints of late antiquity and the Middle Ages, who have inspired significant and enduring veneration. However, this approach has inadvertently led to the marginalization and forgetfulness of many lesser-known saints. This book aims to rectify this by examining the life, cult, sainthood, and eventual disappearance of Irenaeus of Sirmium, a martyr who was killed in 304 CE in Sirmium, Pannonia. During the Middle Ages, his short-lived cult, feast day, and account of his martyrdom had all been forgotten. This book seeks to explore Irenaeus of Sirmium's life, cult, sainthood, and eventual decline in the memory of medieval Christendom within the broader context of studying the memory of those less-well-known saints who, like Irenaeus, were neglected and eventually forgotten.
Irenaeus of Sirmium and His Story in the Medieval East and West will be of interest to scholars and students specializing in hagiography, medieval literature, history, as well as those interested in the religious history of Byzantium, medieval Europe, and the Slavic world.
