With original translations of primary texts and articles by leading
researchers in the field, Sanctity in the North gives an
introduction to the literary production associated with the cult of
the saints in medieval Scandinavia. For more than five hundred
years, Nordic clerics and laity venerated a host of saints through
liturgical celebrations, written manuscripts, visual arts, and oral
traditions. Textual evidence of this widespread and important
aspect of medieval spirituality abounds. Written biographies (or
vitae), compendia of witnessed miracles, mass propers, homilies,
sagas and chronicles, dramatic scripts, hymns, and ballads are
among the region's surviving medieval manuscripts and early
published books. Sanctity in the North features English
translations of texts from Latin or vernacular Nordic languages, in
many cases for the first time. The accompanying essays concerning
the texts, saints, cults, and history of the period complement the
translations and reflect the contributors' own disciplinary
groundings in folklore, philology, medieval, and religious studies.
