The Oldest Legend, Acts of the Canonization Process, and Miracles of Saint Margaret of Hungary edited by G. Klaniczay, I. Csepregi, B. Péterfi

Submitted by stanka.kuzmova@... on Jun 23, 2018

This bilingual volume (Latin text with English translation) is the second in the series presenting hagiographical narratives from medieval Central Europe. It contains the most important hagiographical corpus of medieval Hungarian history: that of Saint Margaret (1242–1270), daughter of King Béla IV, who lived her life as a Dominican nun. Margaret’s cult started immediately after her death and the demand to examine her sanctity was first formulated in 1272. The canonization process recommenced in 1276, followed by further initiatives across the centuries.
