Summary

One of the best-known reference works of all time has been updated and revised. The 12 volumes correspond to the months of the year--each volume contains entries on saints with feast days in that month. This volume includes information on a variety of men and women who lived the gospel--from the first to the 20th century--from all areas of the world.
