Abstract:"This volume provides English translations of selected legends from a remarkable sixteenth-century Icelandic collection known as the Reykjahólabók. The Middle Low German originals it translates are no longer extant and are apocryphal wholly or in part. Also included is a wide-ranging introduction that surveys the historical and literary contexts for the translation of Catholic saints' lives on the eve of the Protestant Reformation, as well as normalized editions of the sixteenth-century texts accessible to readers of contemporary." Icelandic."
