Review Quotes: Lay[s] invaluable groundwork for future scholarship on the spread of insular and universal cults, within and beyond Scotland. [It] has much to offer scholars of northern religion as well as those interested in canonization procedures, early printing practices, patterns of lay and elite devotion, Marian cults, and political saints.
