The Saints in Iceland. Their Veneration from the Conversion to 1400. (Subsidia Hagiographica, 78)

Descripción

XVI-296 p., 1 map (46 x 40 cm). Unique repertory of the saints venerated in mediaeval Iceland. Each entry specifies the churches where the saint was venerated as well as his feast-day; where relevant, it mentions literary works (sagas) devoted to him and her, and local iconographic depictions of him and her. The work also contains a list of all the churches and chapels whose existence is attested prior to 1400: the names of the saints associated with each place, which can easily be found on a large scale unfolding map, the date of consecration of the edifice and the sources in which it is mentioned are listed. A fundamental reference work for Icelandic church history. N° de ref. del artículo 001147
