Summary

This section gathers together the hagiographic changeling sources, dividing the sources first by the saint that they depict and subsequently by the medium used (i.e. manuscript, text, other media). As more attention is drawn to this subset of hagiographic legends, more sources are uncovered. This corpus is as complete as I have been able to make it at time of writing, but even up to the very final stages of completing this book I was made aware of manuscripts and images I had not encountered previously. I am particularly indebted to Maria Ferraiuolo, who added to my list of manuscripts in St Stephen's tradition, and to Licia Buttà, who has recently published a transcription of a previously unknown Latin version of the St Bartholomew legend. I have now incorporated these manuscripts into this list, but I have not been able to incorporate substantial analysis of them into this book. These manuscripts can be identified by their lack of shortened form in brackets after the contextual information. In order to accommodate image formatting, notes and further information on each of these sources are provided in a separate section at the end.
