Offers a comprehensive catalogue of all the saints appearing in the
monastic litanies, from Abro to Yvo. The litanies of the monastic
orders in England, above all those of the Benedictines, are key
witnesses of devotion to the saints of the British Isles, whose
relics and shrines were mostly in Benedictine abbeys and cathedral
priories. However, although many of the calendars of the
Benedictines have been published, litanies are more rare, and the
majority of those within this volume are presented as text editions
for the first time. The majority of the textsare Benedictine, but
the few surviving litanies from the other monastic orders,
Carthusians, Cistercians and Cluniacs, are included, and also those
of the Order of Fontevrault. This volume, the final in a set of
three, contains a complete catalogue of all the saints mentioned in
the litanies, providing such information as their miracles, their
resting-place, and their origins. It also provides full indices to
all three volumes. Nigel Morgan is Honorary Emeritus Professor of
the History of Art at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of
Corpus Christi College.
