Golden Legend, The, a medieval manual of ecclesiastical lore: lives of saints, commentary on church services, homilies for saints' days, and so on. An English version from various sources was published by
Caxton (1483) and was his most popular production. One of its most important sources was the
Legenda Aurea in Latin by Jacobus de Voragine (1230–98), an Italian Dominican friar who became archbishop of Genoa.
