PRESENTS THE COMPLETE TEXT of Book II of the Codex Calixtinus, the 22 miracles associated with St. James. The introduction analyzes the types, places, and recipients of the miracles and discusses the appearances of St. James himself in these stories. Also offerschapter 17 of Book I, theVeneranda dies sermom, a contemporary description of the necessity, the ways and means, and the dangers of making the Compostela pilgrimage. The author’s diatribes against the abuses common on the route give the 20th-century reader a fascinating view of life on pilgrimage. Edited and translated by Thomas F. Coffey, Linda Kay Davidson & Maryjane Dunn. Introduction, notes, illustrations, bibliography, index.— Google Books
