The unabridged, classic work by Fr. Alban Butler (1710-1773).  This work is the fruit of over 30 years’ research by a uniquely qualified priest. First published in several volumes as The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints between1756-1759, it has undergone many revisions and editions in its centuries-long lifetime, and has become the enduring, authoritative source for information on the lives of the saints. Since stories are so powerful in human history, Fr. Butler, in recounting the lives of over 1,600 saints, and including poignant, spiritual reflections on their examples and virtues, has inspired countless multitudes of people to run in the way of God's commands, with hearts overflowing in Love.This digital edition is also fully searchable, with an alphabetical list to make it easy to find your favorite saint. There is also a chronological list sorting the saints into centuries. The bulk of the book orders the saints according to the pre-Vatican II Church liturgical calendar.
