Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. THE GOLDEN LEGEND is one of the central texts of the Middle AgesOne of the central texts of the Middle Ages, The Golden Legend deeply influenced the imagery of poetry, painting and stained glass with its fascinating descriptions of saints' lives and religious festivals.

This selection of over seventy biographies ranges from the first Apostles and Roman martyrs to near-contemporaries such as St Dominic, St Francis of Assissi and St Elizabeth of Hungary. Here, witnesses to the true faith endure horrific tortures; reformed prostitutes win divine forgiveness; while other women live disguised as monks or nobly resist lustful tyrants. Lucid and compelling, The Golden Legend offers an enthralling insight into the medieval mind. A summary of saint's lives and religious festivals which decisively influenced medieval poetry, painting and stained glass. A resource for students of art history and religious studies. Contains a selection of over 70 biographies ranging from the first Apostles to Francis of Assisi. The selection and translation is by Christopher Stace.

Paper Back. Condizione: New. The Golden Legend was the most widely read medieval collection of saints' lives, originally compiled in about 1260, and without peer until replaced by Butler's Lives four hundred years later. The readings on the saints and on feast days were originally written with an eye toward edification and piety rather than Enlightenment standards of historical accuracy. Not to say that Jacobus was uninterested in history; over 130 sources dating from the second to the thirteenth centuries were incorporated into his work, and he was aware of and tried to reconcile discrepancies between them. But his primary concern was to illustrate the awareness of God present and active in human history, an activity which in the medieval mind presupposed the miraculous as commonplace. The Golden Legend, abridged in this Penguin Classic, is an incomparable source for the study of medieval art history, popular culture, literature, and piety.
