University professors have applied trigger warnings to an 800-year-old religious text because the miracles described could be ‘graphic’.
History students at Manchester Metropolitan University will now be alerted to the potentially graphic content in a translation of the Miracles of the Hand of St James – a medieval text that describes the alleged miracles attributed to the mummified hand of St James.
Students set to study the historical text are first told: ‘Warning. Some of the miracles can be pretty graphic and may be off-putting to some.’
