This collection offers a comprehensive guide to the development of hagiography and the cult of saints in medieval western Christendom through translated sources. It serves as an essential resource for studying ideals of sanctity and religious practices of the time. Aimed at the classroom, medieval scholars exploring unfamiliar languages, and general readers intrigued by saints, it allows for an in-depth exploration of writings about them. The thirty-six chapters feature either complete texts or substantial selections, with most never before available in English.
