A list for All Saints

In the twelve years I have been writing this blog, I have spent a lot of my time researching saints. While most of my academic output has been restricted to a handful of saints, I have also been aware of the interconnectedness of saints and their stories, and that in order to understand one saint, it is important to know as many saints and their legends as possible. Consequently, I have used this blog both to develop my ideas about the saints of my main research focus, but also to get more acquainted with other saints, especially those that are too far removed from my immediate expertise for me to use them in my own articles.  

Since today is the feast of All Saints, a feast instituted to commemorate also those saints which remain unknown to us - and if there indeed are saints I believe they are unknown to most of us - I have put together a list of some, if not all, of the saints about whom I have written blogposts. Some of these posts are quite old and do not necessarily reflect my current opinion, but together they represent the breadth of my research into the cult of saints. It should be noted that in some cases I have written several posts, but I have chosen to only include one link per saint. Moreover, some posts deal with more than one saint or more than one group or pair of saints, so the same link might appear twice.
