Jonas and Biblical Stylization
View through CrossRef
Biblical stylization is so implicit in hagiographical works that there is the danger that we might overlook its influence without considering how hagiographers used the Bible to communicate and emphasize their ideas. Jonas of Bobbio’s use of the Bible as an implicit source of stylization in his depictions of Brunhild as a second Jezebel or Columbanus as Elijah reveals the influence that the Old Testament (especially the Book of Kings) exerted on Jonas’s character representation. The chapter explores in detail this implicit biblical stylization and the ways in which Jonas sought to emphasize his ideas through biblical citations and allusions.
