The Passion of Saint Ursula

The Passion of Saint Ursula. (co-authored)

This brief saints life, translated here for the first time into English from Passio II (Regnante Domino, 1100) hovers between history and fairy tale. A band of women presumably sailed from Britain on a pilgrimage to Rome before the 4th century. They never made it back. Legend eventually put their number at 11,000, all highborn virgins massacred by Huns in Cologne where their bones remain in St Ursula’s Church to this day. Peregrina Publishing Co., Toronto, Ontario, 1991. Introduction, text, notes, 40pp.
