Description
This app provides short, but readable and trustworthy, accounts of the principal saints venerated in the Roman Catholic church. This work was developed
from the well-known Lives of the Saints by the Rev. Alban Butler, which was originally published in London between 1756 and 1759.
Father Herbert Thurston, S.J. undertook the work of modernizing this classic, by adding modern saints and making the text more readable. He published the first volume in
1926 and the last in 1938 before his death in 1939.
This app brings together Thurston's twelve volumes (one for each month) in a single complete work. It also has a text-to-speech option.
