Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive collection of approximately 1800 extracts from medieval and early modern texts about Christian saints and their purported miracles. Collected to demonstrate a mode of religious thought prevalent at the time, it allows readers to immerse themselves in the popular beliefs, folklore, and practices of the period. Rather than focusing on specific saints, the book groups the miracles thematically, such as counterfeit miracles, miraculous food, levitations, and other marvels. This organizational structure provides valuable insights into the shared beliefs and practices of the time. By presenting these beliefs in a systematic and wide-ranging format, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious imagination of the time and its profound influence on people's lives and understanding of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
