Gilte Legende Vol I by Richard Hamer
Gilte Legende is a translation (1438) of Jean de Vignay's Legende Doree, itself a translation of Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda Aurea which was one of the most widely copied, translated, and read books of the later Middle Ages.
..the publication of volume I, covering roughly half of the sanctorale, represents a service to scholars which is to be warmly welcomed; roll on volumes II and III! * Margaret Connolly, Medium Aevum *
