"The Miracles of Saint James" offers the complete text of Book II
of the Codex Calixtinus, the twenty-two miracles associated with
St. James, including the famous miracle of the hanged boy, who
revives when his father returns from his pilgrimage to Santiago de
Compostela. The introduction analyzes the types, places, and
recipients of the miracles and discusses the appearances of St.
James himself in these stories. This volume also presents the
chapter 17 of Book I, the Veneranda dies sermon. This is a
contemporary description of the necessity, the ways and means, and
the dangers of making the Compostela pilgrimage. The author's
diatribes against the abuses common on the route give the
twentieth-century reader a fascinating view of life on pilgrimage.
Introduction, notes, illustrations, bibliography, index.
