Description

Explore the history of St Swithun, an obscure ninth-century bishop of Winchester who rose to become a major English saint. This volume examines how his popularity spread from England to Ireland, Scandinavia, and France following the translation of his relics in 971 and a massive rebuilding of the Winchester cathedral. Led by Bishop Aethelwold, a vigorous publicity campaign transformed his legacy. This scholarly work provides new and full editions of all relevant hagiographical and liturgical texts related to his cult, making it an essential resource for studying medieval religious history and the development of saintly devotion.
