This is a standard work of reference for the study of the religious
history of western Christianity in the later middle ages which,
since its original publication in French in 1981, has come to be
regarded as one of the great contributions to medieval studies of
recent times. Hagiographical texts and reports of the processes of
canonisation - a mode of investigation into saints' lives and their
miracles implemented by the popes from the end of the twelfth
century - are here used for the first time as major source
materials. The book illuminates the main features of the medieval
religious mind, and highlights the popes' attempts to gain firmer
control over the wide variety of expressions of faith towards the
saints in order to promote a higher pattern of devotion and moral
behaviour among Christians.
