The Lives stemming from the thirteenth-century southern Low Countries, an area corresponding roughly to modern Belgium or the medieval diocese of Liege, form a canon probably unique in the annals of hagiography.... These saints were collectively celebrated not for their outstanding leadership, brilliant preaching or stupendous miracles, but for the intensity of their inner lives.... Whether we find this canon of saints' Lives attractive or alien, annoying or enticing, will depend very much on our own sensibilities. But the cantor of Villers confronts us with a distinctive, hitherto little known voice that deserves at last to be heard. - from the Preface by Barbara Newman
