About this ebook
The text is a formal presentation by a deacon to Pope Alexander, in which he submits a renewed edition of the "Saints of Saints" book, originally preserved in the Lateran basilica's archive. The deacon underscores the significance of maintaining and honoring the memories of saints to avoid their oblivion, as instructed by the Pope and the Church's prior. He expresses a commitment to accuracy and tradition, cautioning against introducing novelties that could lead to superstition. The deacon also references various saints and historical accounts, ensuring that the renewed work remains faithful to its origins.
