The article critically appraises the book "The Dialogue on Miracles," translated by H. von E. Scott and C.C. Swinton Bland, with an introduction by G.G. Coulton. The book's picture of monastery life and thought is by no means complete. The book does not present its readers with stock traditions culled from the lives of the saints. The book shows people the kind of edifying events which apparently were going on all the time, report of which was eagerly handed about by the religious from one monastery to another. The modern psychologist or the person looking for varieties of religious experience will find in these volumes a very considerable mass of data.
