medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
>Of my current collection of saints' dictionaries, encyclopedias,

>references---but the bias of that work in favor of saints of the
>British Isles is sometimes almost ludicrous (he does find some
>amazingly obscure ones, but leaves out fascinating eastern, Italian,
>African, etc., etc. figures). Does anybody have any suggestions of

>assistant professor)
I'd especially like to know about a good saints' dictionary in French.
