The commentary is excellent. * JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY * Everyone from the most seasoned expert to the total neophyte will be able to benefit from the volume, which should immediately become both an indispensable research tool for the specialist and a stimulating way to introduce undergraduates (and even some members of the general reading public) to a broad range of medieval ideas about saints and sanctity. * THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW *
