Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical record to shed light on the life and legacy of Saint Cecilia, an early Christian martyr whose story has been passed down through centuries of tradition. The author critically examines existing sources, including the unreliable Passio Sanctae Caeciliae and the often-cited but potentially inaccurate Liber Pontificalis, to present a more historically grounded account of Cecilia's life and death. Through a meticulous analysis of archaeological evidence and a close reading of early Christian texts, the book offers a fresh perspective on the circumstances surrounding Cecilia's martyrdom, challenging long-held assumptions about her status as a Roman noblewoman and her relationship to Pope Urban I. The author's insights provide a valuable contribution to the study of early Christian history and the evolution of the cult of saints.
