Informationen zum Autor Richard Hamer has previously edited, with Vida Russell, Supplementary Lives in some Manuscripts of theGilte Legende, EETS O.S. 315 (2000). The three volumes of Gilte Legende are the centrepiece of this project begun with O.S. 315. He has written the intoduction and notes to The Golden Legend: Selections, Penguin Books (London, 1998). Klappentext The second of a projected set of three volumes, Volume II concludes the text; Volume III will contain the general introduction, explanatory notes, and glossary. Gilte Legende is, for the most part, a close translation (1438) of Jean de Vignay's Legende Doree (ca. 1333-40), itself a close translation of Jacobus de Voragine's immensely influential Legenda Aurea (ca. 1267). The importance of Legenda Aurea as a source book for students of late medieval literature, church history, and visual art, can hardly be overestimated. Zusammenfassung Gilte Legende is a translation (1438) of Jean de Vignay's Légende Dorée, itself a translation of Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda Aurea which was one of the most widely copied, translated, and read books of the later Middle Ages.
