Traces of the Iconographic Fortune of Saint Hedwig Duchess of Silesia and Poland in the Patrimonium Sancti Petri: Political and Cultural Implications of Laic Holiness

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to analyse St. Hedwig Duchess’ iconographic specificities and peculiarities, an essential figure Polish national identity, in the area of the Patrimonium Sancti Petri, as a result of her beatification process begun under Pope Urban VI and completed by Clement IV. The analysis the testimony still in situ and bibliographic and archival sources, relating it in a privileged relationship with the better-known illustrations included in the celebrated manuscript Ludwig XI.7. (Malibù, CA, J. Paul Getty Museum). This dynamic is juxtaposed with the firmly established critical-historiographical tradition inherent in the primigenial figuration of Rose of Viterbo dated between the end of the 13th and the first quarter of the 14th centuries, to be read primarily in an anti-heretical and anti-heterodox key.
