Description: This volume presents the first English translations of hagiographical narratives from tenth to eleventh-century medieval Central Europe, featuring saints' lives that serve as crucial witnesses to the Christianization process in Bohemia, Poland, Hungary, and Dalmatia, most of whom became regional patrons highly venerated throughout the Middle Ages. The work includes critical editions of the Latin originals with scholarly prefaces discussing textual traditions, plus an appendix that critically surveys the extensive hagiographical literature of these saints.
