** Active Table of Contents **
New and improved with extra pictures of saints!
Lives of Saints includes nearly four hundred of pages of text, but can conveniently fit in your e-reader or tablet!
This edition comes complete with a Touch-or-Click Table of Contents.
Alban Butler (1710–1773) was an English Roman Catholic priest who wrote about religious leaders in the Catholic Church.
Lives of Saints is Alban Butler’s best known work. Lives of Saints is a wonderful text which took Mr. Butler 30 years of studying to accomplish. Lives of Saints is the most comprehensive collection of biographies on church leaders over the centuries.
The result of thirty years study (first published in four volumes, London, 1756–1759), has passed through many editions and translations. It is a popular and compendious reproduction of the Acta Sanctorum, exhibiting great industry and research, and is in all respects the best compendium of Acta in English.
Modern editions of Butler’s Lives, including this one, are split up by the month that each saint’s feast day falls within.
You can purchase other religious works directly from Wyatt North Publishing. Enjoy.
