«Iuxta paradisum»: Imaginary vorlds in late antique hagiography of east and west

Abstract

Through two hagiographic late antique sources, the «Vita Sancti Macarii Romani» and the «Navigatio Brendani», we will try to analyze a new Christian concept of the geographic space shaped by means of the metaphor of the travel; travel that the protagonists, monks in both cases, undertake towards a real and, at the same time, imaginary destiny: the earthly paradise.
