The Lives of the Saints III
Revised with Introduction and Additional Lives of English Martyrs, Cornish and Welsh Saints, and a full Index to the Entire Work The Lives of the Saints is a sixteen-volume collection of lives of the saints by Sabine Baring-Gould, first published between 1872 and 1877 by John Hodges, of London, and later republished in Edinburgh in 1914. The volumes are arranged according to the month of each saint's principal feast day. The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould of Lew Trenchard in Devon, England, was an Anglican priest, hagiographer, antiquarian, novelist, folk song collector and eclectic scholar. His bibliography consists of more than 1240 publications, though this list continues to grow. His family home, the manor house of Lew Trenchard, near Okehampton, Devon, has been preserved as he had it rebuilt and is now a hotel. He is remembered particularly as a writer of hymns, the best-known being "Onward, Christian Soldiers"

Anton Kanz zeigt in seiner Chronik von Tüssen nicht nur den Adel und wie sich Herrschaften über Generationen hinweg behaupten konnten, sondern wir lesen auch von den Sorgen und Nöten der einfacheren Menschen wie den Bauern, denen auch oftmals Auflagen gemacht wurden, die nicht immer einfach zu bewältigen waren. Wir lesen von den Konflikten der Herrschaften von Illereichen und Illertissen im 17. Jh., vom Bauernkrieg etwa im 16. Jh. durchs ganze Illertal, sehr eindrücklich, sogar vom Schwedenkrieg, der auch hier seine Spuren hinterliess, auch wenn die Informationen dazu für den Heimatforscher spärlich zur Verfügung standen. Es ist das Gesamtbild eines Zeitgenossen des 19. Jh., der n...
