| Summary | "La légende dorée" by Jacques de Voragine is a historical religious text written in the 13th century. This work is a collection of lives of saints, intended to not only inform but also inspire the faithful with tales of virtue, sacrifice, and divine intervention. Voragine, part of the Dominican order, provides a window into the piety of his time and the importance of these figures in the Christian tradition. The opening of "La légende dorée" sets the stage for an exploration of the life of the author and the context in which he wrote. It introduces Jacques de Voragine, emphasizing his scholarly and saintly nature, while detailing the historical backdrop of his birthplace and the religious fervor of 13th-century Italy. The text hints at the themes to come, demonstrating Voragine's commitment to portraying the purity and compassion of the saints, as well as his passion for making the stories accessible to the laity. It establishes a rich, contemplative atmosphere that reflects the spiritual and moral complexities of his era, setting the tone for the stories that follow.
