The Dialogue on Miracles

Caesarius was a monk at the Cistercian monastery of Heisterbach in Germany, where he served as Master of novices. For their instruction and edification, he composed his lengthy Dialogue on Miracles in twelve sections between 1219 and 1223. The many surviving manuscripts of this and other works by Caesarius attest to his stature in the history of Cistercian letters.
This second volume contains sections seven through twelve of Caesarius of Heisterbach's Dialogue on Miracles, the first complete translation into English of an influential representation of exempla literature from the Middle Ages. Caesarius's stories provide a splendid index to monastic life, religious practices, and daily life in a tumultuous time.
