SynopsisFrom the famous to the obscure, this new edition of the immensely popular Oxford Dictionary of Saints provides concise, readable accounts of the lives of 1,250 saints, more than any similar guide. In addition to the biographical sketches, the book also provides information on the cults and artistic associations of particular saints, making it especially comprehensive. The inclusion in the third edition of more saints from Europe, as well as a number of those recently canonized, confirms the dictionary's reputation as the standard one-volume work in English. A book to be dipped into again and again, The Oxford Dicitonary of Saints will intrigue anyone who delights in stories of the marvelous, the uncanny, and the bizarre.
