Summary

Praised as "the kind of book that gives hagiography a good name" ( The Times ), this entertaining and authoritative dictionary is as browsable as it is informative, with more than 1,700 fascinating and informative entries covering the lives, cults, and artistic associations of saints from around the world. The figures profiled here come from all walks of life and from all periods of history, reflecting a wide variety of personalities and achievements. This revised fifth edition includes appendices containing maps of pilgrimage sites, a list of saints' patronages and iconographical emblems, and a calendar of principal feasts.
