Yet in recent years there has emerged a growing consensus that \u003ci\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Book of the Miracles of the Blessed Andrew the Apostle\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e (hereafter noted as the \u003ci\u003e\u003cem\u003eMA\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e) was authored by Gregory of Tours (538–594), the preeminent historical source for the sixth-century West. While Gregory and his hagiographical works have been studied with increasing vigor by scholars, the \u003ci\u003e\u003cem\u003eMA\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e has only recently figured into that effort and, consequently, has not yet been fully translated into English. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e           This volume attempts to fill this void by offering the first full English translation of the \u003ci\u003e\u003cem\u003eMA\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, alongside Max Bonnet’s Latin edition, and by setting the work in its rightful place in Gregory’s canon. With an introduction, glossary, notes, and a map of places mentioned in the text, this volume provides an accessible entry point to both the study of the legacy of the apostles as well as Gregory of Tours’s interpretation of it. The \u003ci\u003e\u003cem\u003eMA\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is valuable for the study of early Christianity, late antiquity, and religious culture in the Merovingian Kingdom of the Franks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169700561270,"sku":"9789042949669","price":90.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26973916.jpg?v=1737392347","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042949669-gregory-of-tours-the-book-of-the-miracles-of-the-blessed-andrew-the-apostle","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
