Size: 9.13 x 6.57 x 1.11. Translator's notes: These are stories of the mutual charities between saints and beasts, from the end of the fourth to the end of the twelfth century. They are translated without sophistication from the original Latin, most of it of the same period: the detail of the actual sources will be found on the last pages of this book. By restricting these sources to Latin, I have had to forgo the race of the vernacular. Religion::Catholic 6572 6572
