About This Book

L'autore ricostruisce come nel Medioevo la figura di Traiano fu trasformata dalla leggenda della sua liberazione dall'inferno per intercessione di san Gregorio, esaminando le fonti medievali (Paolo e Giovanni Diacono e versioni posteriori), le varianti testuali e le interpolazioni. Analizza la genesi e la diffusione del racconto, le ragioni della sua fortuna — l'efficacia della preghiera, l'esemplarità di un atto di giustizia capace di riscattare una vita — e colloca queste narrazioni nel contesto della mentalità politica ed etica medievale, che poneva la giustizia al centro della legittimità del potere.
