🌟“Vita Sancti Nicolai” now available🌟

It’s Christ­mas time! A great oppor­tu­ni­ty to explore the ori­gins of Saint Nicholas (or San­ta Claus). 🎅🏻

This medieval text, a hagiog­ra­phy of Saint Nicholas of Myra, presents a com­pre­hen­sive account of his life, char­ac­ter, and mir­a­cles.

The author, Jacobus de Vor­agine (c. 1230–1298), was an Ital­ian chron­i­cler and the Arch­bish­op of Genoa. His most sig­nif­i­cant work, the Leg­en­da Aurea or “Gold­en Leg­end,” became one of the most wide­ly cir­cu­lat­ed texts of the Late Mid­dle Ages.

If you cel­e­brate Saint Nicholas Day, it might be nice to read the book before­hand. You can down­load it here.

Hap­py read­ing! 📖
