"""This volume of readable translations of the most significant early medieval Italian saints' lives, with excellent historical commentary, is much more than a set of literary texts expertly translated from Latin into English. It is an important contribution to debates about the nature of early Italian hagiography and the potential use of the whole genre by historians. As Nicholas Everett is the expert in this field, the volume is to be warmly welcomed by students and scholars alike."" -- Ross Balzaretti, University of Nottingham"
