        Abstract
        St Martin of Tours is one of Christianity’s major saints and his significance reaches far beyond the powerful radiance of his iconic act of charity. While the saint and his cult have been researched comprehensively in Germany and France, his cult in the British Isles proves to be fairly unexplored. Andre Mertens closes this gap for Anglo-Saxon England by editing all the age’s surviving texts on the saint, including a commentary and translations. Moreover, Mertens looks beyond the horizon of the surviving body of literary relics and dedicates an introductory study to an analysis of the saint’s cult in Anglo-Saxon England and his significance for Anglo-Saxon culture.
         
        Der Heilige Martin von Tours ist eine der zentralen Heiligenfiguren des Christentums, dessen Bedeutung weit über die Strahlkraft der berühmten Mantelteilungsszene hinausgeht. Während der Heilige und sein Kult besonders im deutschen und französischen Sprachraum umfassend erforscht sind, ist der Kult des Heiligen auf den Britischen Inseln nahezu unerforscht. Andre Mertens schließt in der vorliegenden Arbeit diese Lücke für das angelsächsische England, indem er sämtliche Texte über den Heiligen aus dieser Literaturepoche ediert und sie mit einem Kommentar und einer Übersetzung versehen präsentiert. Über den literaturhistorischen Horizont hinaus widmet sich Mertens in seiner einleitenden Studie dem Kult des Heiligen und seiner Bedeutung für das angelsächsische England.
