Abstract:"Godric of Finchdale was a hermit, merchant, and medieval saint. His life was recorded by Benedictine monk Reginald of Durham, but the work has hitherto only been available in Latin or French, in manuscripts and in one nineteenth-century edition by Joseph Stevenson. The contemporary audience for Reginald's account has inaccurately been said to be small, provincial, and local, comprising mostly peasants and women. Subsequently, Godric became famous for his songs, which have had a separate transmission and are still performed today. Much past research on Godric of Finchale has been based on summaries or epitomes of Reginald's work. It is now clear that several authors rewrote the story to omit many miracles and large portions of text, and that only one manuscript remains testament to the original. This book offers a full, literal translation, presenting Reginald's work as closely as possible to the single extant manuscript, and opening up the work to a wider audiance for the first time.
