St. Edmund was medieval England's patron saint, and at his abbey, two major Latin
miracle collections were compiled: one in the 1090s by Herman the Archdeacon, a historian
trained in the schools of Lorraine; the other c. 1100 by an anonymous hagiographer
who rewrote and expanded Herman's work. Herman's Miracles, an important text for the
history of the realm and East Anglia in particular, is edited and translated here
in its full fifty chapters for the first time, along with a shorter version intended
for wider circulation. The second miracle collection, never before in print, is also
presented for the first time and attributed to the Flemish hagiographer Goscelin of
Saint-Bertin. Together the collections illustrate a rapid turnover of hagiography,
connected to a change of leadership at the abbey of Bury St. Edmunds. These works
illustrate the evolution of historical writing, applied to the affairs of an exceptional
international cult. A poem attacking Bishop Herbert Losinga (1091-1119) for simony
is also included, linked to Herman and the factional divisions behind the two miracle
collections. This book will remain invaluable to literary scholars and historians
alike
