Record Number: 16296 Author(s)/Creator(s): Consolino , Franca Ela Contributor(s): Title: L'Invenzione di una biografia: Almanno di Hautvillers e la vita di sant'Elena [Shortly after relics of Saint Helen were stolen from Rome and deposited at Hautvillers, Alamannus was commissioned to write a biography of the saint. He used classical, as well as Biblical and patristic, allusions in the composition of this life. Both the Biblical figures and Helena's finding of the True Cross connect the saint to the figure of "Ecclesia," the Church who finds Christ. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
