Irene di Bisanzio, unica donna ad assumere il titolo imperiale maschile, è conosciuta soprattutto per aver sconfitto l’iconoclastia, riportando la Chiesa d’Oriente in comunione con tutte le altre.

I start this article with an analysis of Goscelin’s Liber confortatorius, the letter of love and spiritual longing that he wrote to Eve when she left Wilton to become a recluse on the continent. He imagines Eve in total physical seclusion, but surrounded by the community at Wilton and bound tightly to him through reading his words. I then move on to Hilary of Orleans’ poem written about Eve after her death.
