The Life of Saint Helia: Critical Edition, Translation, Introduction, and Commentary - Oxford Early Christian Texts
Virginia Burrus
A critical edition of The Life of Saint Helia, a late ancient Latin hagiography of uncertain provenance. This remarkable text records a highly polemical debate between a young girl Helia and her mother regarding the relative merits of virginity and marriage, followed by a dialogue between Helia and a bishop, and a debate between Helia and a judge.
