Pictorial Lives of the Saints

John Gilmary Shea (ed.)

John Gilmary Shea's illustrated lives of the saints (Benziger Brothers, 1878–1887), arranged for every day of the year and compiled from Butler's Lives and other approved sources. This edition adds meditations on the movable feasts, the lives of the American saints, and the saints canonized in 1881 by Pope Leo XIII, paired with the original wood-engravings. Each entry closes with a brief Reflection.
