For undergraduates there is a very nice reader in English translation:
John Shinners, ed., Medieval Popular Religion, 1000-1500. A Reader.
Readings in Medieval Civilizations and cultures, 2. Peterborough, Canada:
Broadview Press, 1997.
There is also a bibliography of canonization inquests in Michael Goodich's
Violence and Miracle in the Fourteenth Century. Chicago: University of
Chicago Press, 1995.
