Anonymous Old English lives of saints / edited and translated by Johanna Kramer, Hugh Magennis, Robin Norris.

• "The present volume presents new editions and translations of Old English anonymous prose saints' lives; existing editions and translations have been consulted, but the texts have been edited from the manuscripts and independently translated. The lives included in this collection are highly diverse in nature, differing in length, in approach, and in content; some are original compositions, some are lengthy translations, some are fragments of what were once longer lives; some venerate Anglo-Saxon saints, others saints from the early Church; the saints are martyrs, virgins, hermits, holy women, bishops, an apostle, and an archangel"--
