The Oxford Dictionary of Saints gives concise accounts of nearly 1100 saints who lived, died, or have been venerated in Great Britain and Ireland, as well as others of notable historical importance from around the world. The entries range from the famous to the obscure, from the great saints of early Christendom to often forgotten local saints. The new edition includes entries on martyrs from the early Christian centuries, additional entries on Greek and Russian saints, and recently canonized modern saints. An introduction describes the tradition of English hagiography and traces the history of saints' cults from earliest Christian times through the Middle Ages to the reform of the Roman calendar in 1969. Bibliographies are provided and a topographical index lists places in Great Britain and Ireland with which saints are associated. Also included are a calendar of principal feasts and indexes of iconographical emblems. biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history,catholicism,christian books and bibles,christianity,church history,churches and church leadership,education and reference Religious Studies, Oxford University Press

Praised as "splendid" (The Economist) and "the kind of book that gives hagiography a good name" (The Times), this entertaining and authoritative dictionary breathes life into its subjects and is as browsable as it is informative. First published in 1978, the Oxford Dictionary of Saints offers more than 1,700 fascinating and informative entries covering the lives, cults, and artistic associations of saints from around the world. Ranging from the famous to the obscure, the rich to the poor, and the academic to the uneducated, the saints profiled here come from all walks of life, from all periods of history, and from around the world, reflecting a wide variety of personalities and achievements. This revised fifth edition includes appendices containing maps of pilgrimage sites, a list of saints' patronages and iconographical emblems, and a calendar of principal feasts. biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history,catholicism,christian books and bibles,christianity,church history,churches and church leadership,education and reference Religious Studies, Oxford University Press
