Summary:The Cistercian Caesarius of Heisterbach (ca. 1180-1240) is one of the most renowned authors of the Middle Ages. His 'Eight Books of Miracles' (Libri VIII miraculorum) are a collection of instructional, edifying and deterrent narratives, encompassing tales of saints and demons, of humans and animals, of minor miracles and major misfortunes. Through his narratives, Caesarius transports his audience on a journey from the Rhineland to the Baltic and to Jerusalem, offering a multifaceted depiction of the political, social and religious developments in the 13th century. The new edition of the 'Eight Books of Miracles' comprises an annotated version of the Latin text, a new German translation, and an analysis of the work and its manuscript tradition.
