Saints' lives : lives of SS. Wulfstan, Dunstan, Patrick, Benignus and Indract

This volume presents the hagiographical writings of the Benedictine monk, historian, and scholar, William of Malmesbury (c.1095-c.1143): his Lives of Wulfstan and Dunstan, which survive complete, and those of Patrick, Benignus, and Indract, which exist now only as fragments. Only the Life of Wulfstan has been translated before; the fragments are edited here for the first time, and for the first time an assessment is offered of William as hagiographer, and of the relationship between his historical and hagiographical output. For Wulfstan II, bishop of Worcester 1062-95, William's Life is the main primary source. The other Lives, written for the monks of Glastonbury, shed important light on William's use of his sources, and on the local cult of these saints. 1 IMG_20220609_0001 IMG_20220609_0002 IMG_20220609_0003 IMG_20220609_0004 IMG_20220609_0005 IMG_20220609_0006 IMG_20220609_0007 IMG_20220609_0008 IMG_20220609_0009 IMG_20220609_0010 IMG_20220609_0011 IMG_20220609_0012 IMG_20220609_0013 IMG_20220609_0014 IMG_20220609_0015 IMG_20220609_0016 IMG_20220609_0017 IMG_20220609_0018 IMG_20220609_0019 IMG_20220609_0020 IMG_20220609_0021 IMG_20220609_0022 IMG_20220609_0023 IMG_20220609_0024 IMG_20220609_0025 IMG_20220609_0026 IMG_20220609_0027 IMG_20220609_0028 IMG_20220609_0029 IMG_20220609_0030 2 IMG_20220610_0001 IMG_20220610_0002 IMG_20220610_0003 IMG_20220610_0004 IMG_20220610_0005 IMG_20220610_0006 IMG_20220610_0007 IMG_20220610_0008 IMG_20220610_0009 IMG_20220610_0010 IMG_20220610_0011 IMG_20220610_0012 IMG_20220610_0013 IMG_20220610_0014 IMG_20220610_0015 IMG_20220610_0016 IMG_20220610_0017 IMG_20220610_0018 IMG_20220610_0019 IMG_20220610_0020 IMG_20220610_0021 IMG_20220610_0022 IMG_20220610_0023 IMG_20220610_0024 IMG_20220610_0025 IMG_20220610_0026 IMG_20220610_0027 IMG_20220610_0028 IMG_20220610_0029 IMG_20220610_0030 IMG_20220610_0031 IMG_20220610_0032 IMG_20220610_0033 IMG_20220610_0034 IMG_20220610_0035 IMG_20220610_0036 IMG_20220610_0037 IMG_20220610_0038 IMG_20220610_0039 3 IMG_20220613_0001 IMG_20220613_0002 IMG_20220613_0003 IMG_20220613_0004 IMG_20220613_0005 IMG_20220613_0006 IMG_20220613_0007 IMG_20220613_0008 IMG_20220613_0009 IMG_20220613_0010 IMG_20220613_0011 IMG_20220613_0012 IMG_20220613_0013 IMG_20220613_0014 IMG_20220613_0015 IMG_20220613_0016 IMG_20220613_0017 IMG_20220613_0018 IMG_20220613_0019 IMG_20220613_0020 IMG_20220613_0021 IMG_20220613_0022 IMG_20220613_0023 IMG_20220613_0024 IMG_20220613_0025 IMG_20220613_0026 IMG_20220613_0027 IMG_20220613_0028 IMG_20220613_0029 IMG_20220613_0030 IMG_20220613_0031 IMG_20220613_0032 IMG_20220613_0033 IMG_20220613_0034 IMG_20220613_0035 4 IMG_20220614_0001 IMG_20220614_0002 IMG_20220614_0003 IMG_20220614_0004 IMG_20220614_0005 IMG_20220614_0006 IMG_20220614_0007 IMG_20220614_0008 IMG_20220614_0009 IMG_20220614_0010 IMG_20220614_0011 IMG_20220614_0012 IMG_20220614_0013 IMG_20220614_0014 IMG_20220614_0015 IMG_20220614_0016 IMG_20220614_0017 IMG_20220614_0018 IMG_20220614_0019 IMG_20220614_0020 IMG_20220614_0021 IMG_20220614_0022 IMG_20220614_0023 IMG_20220614_0024 IMG_20220614_0025 IMG_20220614_0026 IMG_20220614_0027 IMG_20220614_0028 IMG_20220614_0029 IMG_20220614_0030 IMG_20220614_0031 IMG_20220614_0032 IMG_20220614_0033 IMG_20220614_0034 IMG_20220614_0035 5 IMG_20220620_0001 IMG_20220620_0002 IMG_20220620_0003 IMG_20220620_0004 IMG_20220620_0005 IMG_20220620_0006 IMG_20220620_0007 IMG_20220620_0008 IMG_20220620_0009 IMG_20220620_0010 IMG_20220620_0011 IMG_20220620_0012 IMG_20220620_0013 IMG_20220620_0014 IMG_20220620_0015 IMG_20220620_0016 IMG_20220620_0017 IMG_20220620_0018 IMG_20220620_0019 IMG_20220620_0020 IMG_20220620_0021 IMG_20220620_0022 IMG_20220620_0023 IMG_20220620_0024 IMG_20220620_0025 IMG_20220620_0026 IMG_20220620_0027 IMG_20220620_0028 IMG_20220620_0029 IMG_20220620_0030 6 IMG_20220621_0001 IMG_20220621_0002 IMG_20220621_0003 IMG_20220621_0004 IMG_20220621_0005 IMG_20220621_0006 IMG_20220621_0007 IMG_20220621_0008 IMG_20220621_0009 IMG_20220621_0010 IMG_20220621_0011 IMG_20220621_0012 IMG_20220621_0013 IMG_20220621_0014 IMG_20220621_0015 IMG_20220621_0016 IMG_20220621_0017 IMG_20220621_0018 IMG_20220621_0019 IMG_20220621_0020 IMG_20220621_0021 IMG_20220621_0022 IMG_20220621_0023 IMG_20220621_0024 IMG_20220621_0025 IMG_20220621_0026 IMG_20220621_0027 IMG_20220621_0028 IMG_20220621_0029 IMG_20220621_0030 IMG_20220621_0031 IMG_20220621_0032 IMG_20220621_0033 IMG_20220621_0034 IMG_20220621_0035 IMG_20220621_0036 IMG_20220621_0037 IMG_20220621_0038 IMG_20220621_0039 IMG_20220621_0040 IMG_20220621_0041 IMG_20220621_0042 IMG_20220621_0043 IMG_20220621_0044 IMG_20220621_0045 IMG_20220621_0046 IMG_20220621_0047 IMG_20220621_0048 "This volume presents the hagiographical writings of the Benedictine monk, historian, and scholar, William of Malmesbury (c.1090-c.1143): his Lives of Wulfstan and Dunstan, which survive complete, and those of Patrick, Benignus, and Indract, which exist now only as fragments.
