Abstract

In the short epic poem Vita divi Pauli Eremitae (1522), Valentinus Ecchius paraphrased the homonym legend written by St. Jerome. The humanist poet incorporated his work in the Hungarian context by dedicating it to Alexius Thurzo, treasurer of the Kingdom, by choosing as topic the life of St. Paul the Hermit, eponymus of the genuine Hungarian monastic order Ordo S. Pauli Primi Eremitae, by adding the motiv of the translation of St. Paul’s relics and a prayer for Hungary.
