- W2029320623 abstract "By comparing successive versions of an early saint's legend, one can trace the progress of religious ideas across the Middle Ages. The procedure is always illuminating, but there is particular interest in applying it to the Cecilia legend, for this is the only actual saint's legend retold by Chaucer. The implications of Chaucer's version, the narrative he assigns to the Second Nun in the Canterbury Tales, cannot be seen clearly unless one knows the tradition behind it. The Cecilia legend survives in a series of alternative versions that comprise an ideal context for defining the salient features of Chaucer's narrative. The oldest of these versions, and the ultimate source for all the rest, is the longer Passio S. Caeciliae. A derivative historical romance dating from the early Middle Ages,1 the Passio is noteworthy for its intellectual seriousness and its avoidance of the excesses, both in plotting and in theology, that characterize some of the more popular legends. In fact, the central meaning of the Passio resides in a complex ideal of perfection that is close to Augustine's teachings, not only in specific details but also in its balance between affirmation and transcendence of the created order. Of the descendants of the Passio in later centuries, all but a few can be ignored here. Three of the English ones the drastic abridgment by iElfric at the end of the tenth century, the popular adaptation in the Northern Homily Cycle at the end of the fourteenth, and the more detailed account by Osbern Bokenham in the mid-fifteenth, which draws both on the Passio itself and on the Legenda aurea of Jacobus de Voragine2 will serve to illustrate" @default.
