Jacopo da Varagine (c. 1228-1298) is remembered today primarily for his immensely popular work The Golden Legend , a massive collection of stories about the saints. Compiled over the years 1260-67, The Golden Legend quickly eclipsed earlier collections of saints' lives. One indication of its popularity is the fact that so many manuscript copies of the work have survived--more than one thousand according to some estimates.
