Butler's Lives of the Saints

This concise edition of a four-volume work brings the lives of the saints within the reach of everyone who seeks a deeper knowledge of them and of the times in which they lived. The entries are short and could be used as a source for daily devotional reading. The saints are listed chronologically month-by-month on their feast days. For each day of the year, one saint is given. It also reproduces, in full, the index from the complete edition, and includes some of the most recent canonizations.
