Summary

The first part of this collection of essays focuses on how stories of miracles were collected at shrines or used in the process of canonization. The latter half of the book explores the ways in which miracle narratives can throw light on everyday religious practice, popular piety, and, because many miracles are about healing, the social history of medicine.
