Goscelin of Saint-Bertin: The Hagiography of the Female Saints of Ely

Editeur: Oxford University Press
From the tenth century, the monastic community at Ely venerated a group of female saints: Athelthryth, its founding patroness, who died in 679, supposedly a virgin despite two marriages; her sister Seaxburh; another supposed sister Wihtburh, whose remains had been stolen by the monks of Ely. This is the translation of the lives of these saints.
