About this book
The Life of St George - Excerpt from The Golden Legend
Author: Jacobus, de Voragine, approximately 1229-1298; Caxton, William, approximately 1422-1491, translator
Year: 1900
This excerpt from The Golden Legend (volume 3) tells the most famous version of the life of Saint George, centering on his slaying of a dragon. Of the many stories of the warrior-saint's life, this is perhaps the most important, and certainly the most encountered in artistic depictions of the saint, owing to this 15th-century translation by William Caxton.
