OverviewThis series is designed to meet the needs of students of ancient and medieval history and others who wish to broaden their study by reading source material, but whose Latin and Greek is not sufficent to allow them to do so in the original language. ""Glory of the Martyrs"" contains a series of anecdotes about the lives and cults of Christians who suffered and died for their faith. The anecdotes provide evidence of the way bishops manipulated cults in the early Church, and the functions and meanings of the cults of saints.
