This scholarly parallel-text edition is the first to bring together the stories of the little-known virgin spouses: Julian and Basilissa, Cecilia and Valerian, and Chrysanthus and Daria, all drawn from the Lives of Saints written by the Anglo-Saxon monk Aelfric. Alongside Aelfric's original Old English texts, Robert Upchurch provides the reader with modern English parallel-text translations, and, as a useful comparison, the closest Latin source texts-again with parallel-text translations.
