In Search of Sacred Time
How The Golden Legend shaped the medieval imagination It is impossible to understand the Middle Ages without grasping the importance of The Golden Legend, the most popular medieval collection of saints' lives. Assembled in the thirteenth century by Genoese archbishop Jacobus de Voragine, the book became the medieval equivalent of a bestseller. In Search of Sacred Time is the first comprehensive history and interpretation of this crucial book. Jacques Le Goff, who was one of the world's most renowned medievalists, provides a lucid and compelling account that shows how The Golden Legend Christianized time itself, reconciling human and divine temporality. Authoritative, eloquent, and original, In Search of Sacred Time is a major reinterpretation of a book that is central to comprehending the medieval imagination.
The Golden Legend
Depicting the lives of the saints in an array of factual and fictional stories, The Golden Legend was perhaps the most widely read book, after the Bible, during the late Middle Ages. It was compiled around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, a scholarly friar and later archbishop of Genoa, whose purpose was to captivate, encourage, and edify the faithful, while preserving a vast store of information pertaining to the legends and traditions of the church. In this translation, the first in English of the complete text, William Granger Ryan captures the immediacy of this rich work, which offers an important guide for readers interested in medieval art and literature and, more generally, in popular religious culture. Arranged according to the order of saints' feast days, these fascinating stories are now combined into one volume. This edition also features an introduction by Eamon Duffy contextualizing the work.

The Golden Legend
One of the central texts of the Middle Ages, The Golden Legend deeply influenced the imagery of poetry, painting and stained glass with its fascinating descriptions of saints' lives and religious festivals. By creating a single-volume sourcebook of core Christian stories, Jacobus de Voragine (c. 1229-98) attracted a huge audience across Europe. This selection of over seventy biographies ranges from the first Apostles and Roman martyrs to near-contemporaries such as St Dominic, St Francis of Assissi and St Elizabeth of Hungary. Here, witnesses to the true faith endure horrific tortures; reformed prostitutes win divine forgiveness; while other women live disguised as monks or nobly resist lust...

La Légende dorée
La légende dorée L'enthousiasme des premiers lecteurs a fait de La Légende des Saints de Jacques de Voragine La Légende dorée, la légende d'or : celle de toutes les histoires qui entourent la vie et la mort exemplaires des saints chrétiens du premier millénaire après le Christ et des débuts du Moyen Âge. L'auteur a récolté les faits épars dans une foule d'écrits, de chroniques et de biographies dispersés, non pour raconter " ce qui s'est vraiment passé ", mais pour édifier, par l'exemple magnifique des saints, de leurs paroles de feu et de leurs miracles, ceux qui veulent marcher à la suite du Christ. Aujourd'hui, La Légende dorée est aussi une extraordinaire " anthologie " naïve, riche d'histoire et de culture, car elle a inspiré de nombreux artistes chrétiens. Jacques de Voragine Né en 1230 à Varaggio, près de Gênes (d'où le nom de " Varagine " ou " Voragine "), il entre dans l'ordre des Dominicains en 1244. Grand prédicateur, auteur prolifique, défenseur des Génois, il est élu évêque de Gênes en 1292 et meurt en 1298. Traduit du latin par Teodor de Wyzewa
