The Followers of the Apostles as Characters

The GenAut Project is focused on the network of late antique and medieval literary works – both apocryphal and hagiographic – with early Christian figures connected to apostles as main characters.

The project is funded through the FWF START 2024 Award for five years (2024-2029) by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), and is hosted at the University of Vienna, in the Institute of Church History, Christian Archaeology and Ecclesiastical Art. | Grant DOI 10.55776/STA214
