This book traces the reinterpretations of the famous North African martyr text
Passio Perpetuae et Felicitatis
in the literature of the early Church from the 3rd century up to the times of Augustine. This recontextualization reaches its peak in the so-called
Acta Perpetuae
that represent a radical rewriting of the original and an attempt to replace itwith a purified text more compliant with the socio-theological conventions of that time.
