The study examines the earliest and with over 100,000 verses, the most extensive vernacular legendary concerning its portrayals of holiness. Rather than emphasizing formal and historical motifs, it focuses on the specific poetics of legendary narrative. The analytic findings are also applicable to hagiographic narratives in general.
