【 摘 要 】

This article precedes the publication of the Russian translation of the life of Blessed Humiliana de Cerchi (1219-­1246), known as the woman-mystic of Florence. Humiliana is the first tertiary, whose life was described in the form of “Vita”. The text created by her contemporary — the Franciscan monk Vito da Cortona, contains the most interesting information on representations of some part of society of the first half of the XIII century about obedience, meekness and good deeds. The life was written immediately after the death of Humiliana, and the author’s goal was not only to present her as a new Saint, but also to create a new model of “holiness”.
