Description
The Early South English Legendary or Lives of Saints is a book by Dr. Carl Horstmann that contains a collection of hagiographical texts from the Middle Ages. The book includes stories of the lives of Christian saints, such as St. Catherine, St. George, and St. Mary Magdalene, as well as lesser-known figures. The texts are written in the South English dialect and date from the 13th and 14th centuries. The book provides a valuable insight into the religious and cultural beliefs of medieval England, and is of interest to scholars of medieval literature, history, and religion. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the lives and legends of the saints.1887. MS. Laud, 108, in the Bodleian Library. This work is considered one of the most important works of mediaeval literature. These legends represent the Christian mythology, as it had been formed in the course of centuries. The Collection contains sermons, or materials for sermons, for the Festivals of the year in the order of the Calendar, and comprehends not only Saints' Lives for Saints' Days, but also a Temporal for the festivals of Christ, and Advent and Christmas cycle, the Passion and an Easter cycle, and even, in some MSS., a Life of Christ compiled from the Gospels and Sunday lessons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
