BOOK OF
IMPROBABLE
SAINTS
An Irreverent Hagiography
  • Hardback book by Luis d'Antin van Rooten
  • First published in 1975 by Grossman Publishers
  • Copyright © 1975 by Catherine K. van Rooten

According to the Foreword:
" Hagiology is not the science of the geriatrics of witches.
It is the study of the lives of the saints. "

" The true history of the saints is blurred by legend and the mists of time.
Hagiologists and hagiographers are hard put to it to determine whether a saint is real or spurious, a legendary Christian or heretic, or even the invention of some early devoted romancer. "

" The Rt. Rev. Holweck says in his preface:
" To separate as far as possible the genuine saints from those who are spurious, I have marked with an asterisk all persons found only in the separate churches and of whom it is not certain that they were in communion with the Apostolic See. "
The asterisks run through this book like the Milky Way across the heavens on a clear winter night. "

" Once St. Christopher fell from grace with the church (and from a number of dashboards and pendant chains as well), interest in the true nature of the legends of the saints picked up.
Now this book provides brief biographies and earnest likenesses of some characters from church history who have been wisely left undiscussed for centuries:
fifty-three previously unknown, unhagiographed martyrs and heroes, one to be celebrated for each week of the year. "

Truly a weird and bizarre book that was a gift from a priest to its previous owner.

This book is in very nice condition with minor wear to the cover.
No torn or missing pages.
There is an inscription along with several signatures on the inside front cover from the previous owner.
