Delehaye, H. Legends of the saints: an introduction to hagiography; from the French, tr. by Mrs. V. M. Crawford. (Westminster lib.) *$1.20. Longmans.
A two-part work whose purpose is to show the application of the ordinary rules and methods of historical criticism to hagiographical criticism. The first treats of hagiography; the second, of the relation of paganism to Christianity.
“For the elucidation of the first part the author has peculiar and rare qualifications. The other part of his book is not so good. M. Delehaye also makes it evident in his book that he is but imperfectly acquainted with some subjects on which he pronounces an opinion.”
