The eighth edition - "entirely revised and reset" - of an
invaluable reference work.

..."a comprehensive biographical dictionary" edited by Basil
Watkins OSB... if sanctity could be purchased or pondered by pounds
and ounces, this book is twice the bargain...
*Review for Religious*
A useful reference work for anyone who teaches theology or
religious studies, for members of the clergy, for monasteries and
reliigous houses, and for those interested in Christian history...
this is a standard reference work, now brought up to date to
reflect more recent developments in the Church and in
scholarship.

MO, USA*
The current edition of this work, which records the biographies of
Catholic saints, introduces new information while building on its
numerous predecessors (the first edition was published in 1921, the
seventh in 2002) … Integration of the Church's two liturgical
calendrical sources for the first time in English, and the
inclusion of deleted entries from past works along with the reasons
for this action, make this full revision the authoritative
compendium without peer, useful for all those dealing with church
history. Summing Up: Essential. Advanced undergraduates through
researchers/faculty; general readers;
professionals/practitioners.
