Caesarius was a monk at the Cistercian monastery of Heisterbach in
Germany, where he served as Master of novices. For their
instruction and edification, he composed his lengthy Dialogue on
Miracles in twelve sections between 1219 and 1223. The many
surviving manuscripts of this and other works by Caesarius attest
to his stature in the history of Cistercian letters. This
second volume contains sections seven through twelve of Caesarius
of Heisterbach’s Dialogue on Miracles, the first complete
translation into English of an influential representation of
exempla literature from the Middle Ages. Caesarius’s stories
provide a splendid index to monastic life, religious practices, and
daily life in a tumultuous time.
