Golden Legend

Medieval collection of nearly 200 saints' lives compiled c. 1265 by Dominican friar Jacobus de Voragine (c. 1230–98), who was for some years archbishop of Genoa. The collection is in 5 sections and contains 182 chapters (or 177 according to other enumerations). It remained the most popular book of legend into the 16th century and over 1,000 manuscript editions survive. An English translation was published 1948.
