520 0 $aAlban Butler's monumental work was first compiled in the 18th century and later partially revised by Herbert Thurston, S.J. early in the 20th century. When Fr. Thurston's death interrupted work on the second revision, the massive editorial undertaking was assumed by the noted English scholar and hagiographer, Donald Attwater who spent a decade of research and editing in expanding the present edition.
520 0 $a"This classic of hagiography ... provides biographical accounts of 2,565 saints, from the most eminent (Saint Jerome) to the most unlikely (Saint Christina the Astonishing). Tep four volumes move through the year ... and thus encourage fascinated browsing; a reader can check out the saints venerated on his (or her) birthday, discover which are patrons of what and enjoy a lot of good reading. For the most part, this compilation ... eschews legend-mongering and attempts to set down the truth in so far as it is known. Consequently, without denying the miraculous, these lives instead emphasize telling instances of steadfastness, commitment and faith" (Washington Post).
