Description

Excerpt from Lives and Legends of the English Bishops and Kings, Medieval Monks, and Other Later Saints A very noteworthy feature Of the first half of the period treated in this, the third and last volume of 'the Saints in Christian Art, ' is the great number Of anglo-saxons who have been admitted to the hierarchy Of the saints. To this fact due prominence has been given, although, unfortunately, there exist but few works Of art in which they are introduced, the result, of course, to a great extent, Of the ruthless destruction after the Reformation of all that could recall the memory Of the men who had upheld the rights of the Church, but still more to there having been no national school Of religious art in England, such as was so long the glory of Italy, and In a minor degree of Germany and of the Netherlands. Beginning with the first Bishops Of Canterbury, the narrative in the present volume passes on to tell of the great work, in the North of England, Of Saints Paulinus and Aidan, aided by their royal converts Saints Edwin and Oswald, and Of their successors.
