Abstract
Bernard Gui, an Atypical Dominican Hagiographer ? As early as the 13th century, the order of the Friar Preachers stood out with the production of abridged legend books such as The Golden Legend or Summary of Saints’ Gestures and Miracles, intended for preachers. Yet, between 1312 and 1318, the master of the Dominican order ordered to Bernard Gui another book of the same kind. Gui asserted the Dominican identity by taking up the common hagiographie basis established by his predecessors. But he also stood out through his choice of a greater exhaustiveness, rejecting excessive abbreviations, as well as through an attachment to a historical vision of the world of the Chosen Ones.
