Title:
The Pious Infant: Developments in Popular Piety During the High Middle Ages [the author argues that during this period children became saints in two ways: 1) Pious behavior and 2) Murder victims upon whose short lives some elements of sanctity were superimposed; the author discusses the lives of several girls around whom cults developed including Rose of Viterbo, Imelda Lambertini, Saint Fina of San Gimignano, Contessa or Comitissa Teleapetra, Agnes of Bavaria, Reinildis of Reisenbeck, and Panacea of Novara].
