It is impossible to understand the late Middle Ages without grasping the importance of The Golden Legend, the most popular medieval collection of saints' lives. Assembled for clerical use in the thirteenth century by Genoese archbishop Jacobus de Voragine, the book became the medieval equivalent of a best seller. By 1500, there were more copies of it in circulation than there were of the Bible itself. In Search of Sacred Time is the first comprehensive history and interpretation of this crucial book. Jacques Le Goff provides a lucid, compelling, and unparalleled account of why and how The Golden Legend exerted such a profound influence on medieval life. Authoritative, eloquent, and original, In Search of Sacred Time is a major reinterpretation of a book that is central to comprehending the medieval imagination.
