While the saint and his cult have been researched comprehensively in Germany and France, his cult in the British Isles proves to be fairly unexplored. Andre Mertens closes this gap for Anglo-Saxon England by editing all the age’s surviving texts on the saint, including a commentary and translations. Moreover, Mertens looks beyond the horizon of the surviving body of literary relics and dedicates an introductory study to an analysis of the saint’s cult in Anglo-Saxon England and his significance for Anglo-Saxon culture.Christian saintsBiographyEarly works to 1800Christian saintsCultEnglandHistoryChristian saintsCultEuropeHistoryEnglish literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100BibliographySacred booksHistory and criticismSt Martin of ToursÆlfricAntHagiographyHomilyManuscriptOld EnglishChristian saintsBiographyEarly works to 1800.Christian saintsCultHistory.Christian saintsCultHistory.English literatureBibliography.Sacred booksHistory and criticism.270.2092Mertens Andre864764UkMaJRUBOOK9910220559303321The Old English Lives of St Martin of Tours1930248UNINA
