In her article the author poses the question of how to include the Old-Czech hagiographic works in the traditional rhetorical genres. It is true that in literary genealogy the legend belongs to the Medieval prose writing, but it has not yet been discussed within the frames of rhetorical style. Also, in the Medieval rhetorical texts there are some mentions about Medieval hagiography.
