Of all the parts of history, biography, which describes the lives of great men, seems the most entertaining and the most instructive and improving.

—An Introductory Discourse

Rev. Alban
Butler

The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints

Compiled from Original Monuments and Authentic Records

In Twelve Volumes

Rev. Alban Butler

While these 1,458 entries are composed from a distinctly 18th-century Catholic perspective, Alban’s syntheses of multitudinous histories result in an enlightenment of the ecclesiastical side of Western cultural development, with particular emphasis on the early Christian era.
