"In the accounts of disaster of the early modern period, it seemed as though the heroes
were missing, replaced by the anthropomorphic rage of the natural elements. Nevertheless,
it did sometimes happen that singular figures emerged from the blurry mass of the
people and their dramatic anecdotes, and sprang into action to address the emergency.
Sometimes they were saints, sometimes local institutions: the former were invoked
to mediate with heaven to placate divine anger through miracles, and the latter to
manage the catastrophe and provide aid and relief. The chapters in this volume reflect
on this composite phenomenon of salvific actions, especially when they assumed the
character of heroic gestures suspended between reality and fiction, human and divine,
ordinary and extraordinary."
