| A study of the authority of the holy man and its limits in times of crisis, taking as its central figure Symeon Stylites the Younger (c.521-592), who, from his vantage point on a column on a mountain close to Antioch, witnessed a period of exceptional turbulence in the sixth century, including plague, earthquakes, and Persian invasion. |
