This study analyzes the molding of the \u003cem\u003eLegenda aurea\u003c\/em\u003e into a book that powerfully attracted the English market. Modifications included not only illustrations and changes in the arrangement of chapters, but also the addition of lives of British saints and translated excerpts from the Bible, showing an appetite for vernacular scripture and stories about England's past. The publication history of Caxton's \u003cem\u003eGolden Legend\u003c\/em\u003e reveals attitudes towards national identity and piety within the context of English print culture during the half century prior to the Henrician Reformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judy Ann Ford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032236124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032236124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Judy Ann Ford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945691316479,"sku":"9781032236124","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5da65510-2e88-470e-a483-a280ba2d9da4.jpg?v=1681509403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/english-readers-of-catholic-saints-judy-ann-ford-9781032236124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
