Comment

A very comprehensive book of lives and legends of the early Saints, illustrated (in black and white) by great works of art. Chapter XII is St James the Elder, including the legends surrounding his martyrdom (Josias, Hermogenes, Philetus), his translation to Spain and his role as Matamoros (Clavijo). Also of special interest are St Mary Magdalene, St Veronica, St Joseph of Arimathea.
