This work is a study and translation of the testimony given by witnesses at the canonization hearings of St. Elizabeth, who died at age twenty-four in 1231. The depositions offer vivid anecdotes about her life as well as the healing miracles that were associated with her shrine in Marburg. St. Elizabeth of Thuringia provides us with a penetrating insight into the anguish and joy of medieval people. Kenneth Baxter Wolf's commentary and lucid translation of the canonization records of St. Elizabeth are priceless relics, providing an invaluable catalogue of social information about the penitents, their age, gender, occupation, descriptions of their illness, their cure, and their responses to the cure. This volume advances the study of hagiography and the popular imagination and deepens our understanding of the construction of medieval sainthood.
