This third volume completes the text of this hagiographic collection by the fifteenth-century writer Osbern Bokenham. Bokenham's version of the Legenda aurea was influenced by major writers such as Chaucer and Lydgate, and is also important for his naming of the patrons for whom he translated a number of these saints' lives.
