{"product_id":"latin-lives-of-st-lawrence-of-dublin","title":"Latin Lives Of St Lawrence Of Dublin By Roche, Maurice","description":"The four Latin ‘             lives’              of St Laurence O’             Toole (with ancillary material) were critically edited for a doctoral thesis by Maurice Roche in 1981. Sadly Dr Roche died in an accident in 2003. The thesis went ‘             missing’              but photographs of it were made available to Mary Kelly and from these Charles Doherty and Mary produced this book. Contact was made with Dr Roche’             s relatives who were happy to see his work in print. It was a two volume thesis (now reduced to one). The first consisted of chapters on the life and career of Laurence and invaluable analyses of each of the ‘             lives’              revealing the relationships among them and highlighting the very diverse approaches of the hagiographers to their material. The second contains the critical editions of the ‘             lives’             . For the first time we have a complete dossier of the hagiography of the saint. Critical editions of documents concerning the canonisation and translation followed the ‘             lives’             . Finally, draft translations of the two most important ‘             lives’              (found by his relatives) are appended. The thesis is of fundamental importance for scholars working in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Irish, English and European history.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57577517023614,"sku":"NW9781801511230","price":55.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781801511230.jpg?v=1785140737","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/latin-lives-of-st-lawrence-of-dublin","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
