While noting some minor imperfections and suggesting a couple of improvements, the book is assessed in a positive way: by bringing together the later textual evidence of Perpetua in original languages with accompanying English translations, the book supersedes the hitherto best collection of testimonia of the Passio Perpetuae, and since it also features all of the extant versions of the Perpetua martyrdom account itself, the reader can, first-hand, follow the fascinating interpretative path from the pre-text to its later adaptations, reinterpretations and appropriations, to unravel Perpetua’s dynamically changing picture in the cultural memory.
