Foscati, Alessandra, "La Vergine degli ‘ardenti': aspetti di un culto taumaturgico nelle fonti mariane tra XII e XIII secolo", Hagiographica, 18 (2011), 263-295.
- Resum
- Until the late sixteenth century there was evidence, in the West and in text sources of various kinds, including those of medical sources, of a persistent association relating the Virgin to a burning illness which was seen in its epidemic form (probably ergotism) and in its individual form, as being simply a gangrene of the limbs. This association was originated by a series of tales mainly related to the collections of miracula maked up for those sanctuaries that stretched from the North of France to the present-day Belgium, where the Virgin appears as a privileged thaumaturgist of the illness in question. Beyond the epistemological evidence, it is comprehensive how such stories, often similar in tale, served also as a justification of the birth of an institution or a particular cult dedicated to the Virgin, just as it happened in the case of the Saint Candle at Arras.
