Présentation de l'éditeur :
The title of this volume a translation of the Latin words Legenda A urea recalls the custom in medieval churches and monasteries of gathering into a large volume records of the lives and deaths of saintly personages, and reading them aloud according as the ecclesiastical year brought round their memorial days. The reading due on a particular day would be the legenda scilicet lectio ); and from it the whole volume would be entitled the legendarium or (more simply) the legenda. From the narrative character of these readings, which naturally made a considerable impression on the popular mind, the modern word legend gained its circulation and meaning; that its meaning has somewhat deteriorated, implying fiction rather than fact, is not surprising; a similar fate befell our word story and the French histoire. The legendae of particular churches or monasteries would naturally be of local and limited scope. The thirteenth century an age of mental awakening demanded something of wider range. There was a public eager for an encyclopedic volume which should deal in attractive style with the saints of all times and places their deeds, sufferings, and miracles.
