Description: Hrvatsko hagiografsko društvo "Hagiotheca" osnovano je 2004. i otad okuplja zainteresirane stručnjake u okviru niza međunarodnih znanstvenih skupova. Plodove izlaganja i diskusija Društvo objavljuje u sklopu svoje biblioteke Hagiotheca, u nizu Colloquia. Treći hagiografski simpozij održan u Poreču od 27. do 30. svibnja 2010. bio je posvećen istraživanju hagiografije i kulta svetih biskupa te problemima vezanim uz ulogu biskupa u oblikovanju i promicanju svetačkih kultova kroz povijest. Šesnaest tekstova afirmiranih i uglednih stručnjaka kao i mlađih autora iz desetak zemalja priređenih kao drugi svezak u nizu Colloquia očituje raznolikost pristupa toj složenoj problematici pokrivajući uglavnom razdoblje između kasne antike i visokog srednjeg vijeka.
