"My review of this book is an unabashed rave. This reference work will render the topic of Old Norse-Icelandic hagiography much easier to navigate in general, and therefore it represents a major advance over existing scholarship. It is wonderful that absolutely the right scholar for such an exercise has completed it at the exact right moment, and all scholars in the field will benefit from the obvious patient and painstaking labour involved in this task." --Robin Waugh, Department of English, Wilfrid Laurier University "Kirsten Wolf's bibliography of saints' lives in Old Norse-Icelandic prose is a major contribution to research in an area of medieval studies that has burgeoned in the last few decades. Wolf is one of the leading scholars of Old Norse-Icelandic hagiography, editing, and translation, and this work reflects her intimate and broad knowledge of the field. The bibliography for each saint is exemplary." --Marianne Kalinke, Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, University of Illinois.
