This book offers the complete text of Book II of the Codex Calixtinus; the twenty-two miracles associated with St. James; including the famous miracle of the hanged boy; who revives when his father returns from his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The introduction analyzes the types; places; and recipients of the miracles and discusses the appearances of St. James himself in these stories. This volume also presents the chapter 17 of Book I; the Veneranda dies sermon. This is a contemporary description of the necessity; the ways and means; and the dangers of making the Compostela pilgrimage. The author's diatribes against the abuses common on the route give the twentieth-century reader a fascinating view of life on pilgrimage. Introduction; notes; illustrations; bibliography; index.
