Sažetak
U radu se daje pogled na jedno od najlepših i najznačajnijih žitija u srpskoj srednjovekovnoj književnosti. Dobro žitije, kako ga imenuje njegov autor, Žitije Svetoga Petra Koriškog obimom je kratak i sažet spis, ali izuzetno složen, kontemlativan i u isto vreme zanimljiv i pun dramskih obrta i napetosti. To je snažno pobožno štivo satkano pre svega na psihološkim konfliktima glavnog junaka, koje poučava i inspiriše. Istina o delu i istina o Petru Koriškom može se otkriti, međutim, samo pažljivim čitanjem teksta. Svako čitanje i tumačenje koje se ne drži teksta sumnjivo je i nije verodostojno.
