Title
Butler's Lives of the Saints: November, edited by Sarah Fawcett Thomas-Hardcover
"Butler's Lives of the Saints" is a comprehensive reference work on the lives of saints, first compiled by the English priest and scholar Alban Butler in the 18th century. The original publication, titled Lives of the Saints, was first released in 1756, and it has since undergone numerous revisions and updates. It is one of the most widely known and respected collections of hagiographies (biographies of saints) and remains an important work in the Catholic tradition.
Key Features:
- Chronological Arrangement: The saints are presented in a calendar format, with each entry corresponding to a specific day of the year, matching the traditional feast days in the Catholic Church. This allows readers to learn about a different saint every day.
- Thorough Research: Butler's work is known for its detailed, well-researched, and scholarly approach to the lives of saints. His entries often include historical context, theological reflections, and the significance of each saint’s life.
- Global Scope: The work covers saints from many parts of the world, providing a broad view of the global Catholic tradition.
- Moral and Inspirational Purpose: The primary purpose of the work is not just historical but also moral and devotional. Each saint’s life is meant to inspire and edify, showing how the saint lived according to Christian virtues and the example of Christ.
- Revisions and Updates: Since the original publication, the work has been revised and expanded many times, including updates to reflect new saints canonized by the Church. The most recent editions have sought to correct any errors in the earlier versions and incorporate modern scholarship.
Over time, the work has been updated to include saints canonized after Butler’s death in 1773, as well as to provide more context and information from recent historical studies. The full 12-volume set was originally published in the 18th and 19th centuries, but modern editions have distilled the material into more concise formats, sometimes in a single volume or a multi-volume work.
"Butler's Lives of the Saints" is still highly regarded for its devotional value and its impact on Catholic culture, as it continues to serve as a guide to the lives of saints for both personal study and liturgical devotion.
