Description

The virgin martyr St Catherine was one of the most popular saints of the Middle Ages. This book provides the first complete translation of the Bohemian version of her Vita, written in the second half of the fourteenth century. Includes an interdisciplinary introduction, placing the legend in its cultural and historical context, and emphasizing the importance of the Dominican friars as court writers and the prominence of royal and noble women as patrons and consumers of their work.
