St. Edmund was the last Archbishop of Canterbury and the first Oxford master to have been officially canonized. He is also the first member of the nascent university about whom anything considerable is known, and an important figure in the political history of the late 12th century. This book traces the hagiographic tradition through a close study of the primary texts their relation to each other and to other "Lives." Texts are in Latin.
