Publisher: Longmans, Green

Here, translated and adapted from the Latin, are the lives of the Saints arranged according to the Church Calendar. This volume comprises Part I, which goes as far as June 30th. Part II will complete the year. The authors, both widely known scholars and translators, have used the fine Latin text and the book is an easy reading translation that may well be used for popular day to day mediation or study. A good book for schools, libraries, as it also supplies information about the seasons, etc.
