Abstract

Carmelite Albert of Trapani’s posthumous miracles are examined here on the basis of four recensions of his Vita, written between 1385 and the end of the 15th cent. Images of Bl. Albert are often mentioned as signs of his sanctity, as well as contributing to build that sanctity. Considered as carriers of the saint’s virtus, even though they may be located far away from his body (divided between Messina and Trapani), their importance remains nonetheless secondary respect to the widely diffused relics and the practice of drinking some water which has been in contact with them.
