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":"Four Courts Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042774483287,"sku":"9781801511230","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781801511230.jpg?v=1750955582","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-latin-lives-of-st-laurence-of-dublin-9781801511230","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
