The latter include Adalbert, Aemilianus, Amalarius, Alcuin, Bede, Boniface, Columbanus, Elisabeth, Emmeram, Gertrude, Gregory, Kilian, Mechtild, Odilo, Odo, Procopius, Rhabanus Maurus, Rupert, Walpurga, Wilibald, and others. An index of the saints is at the back of the volume. The author, Karl Stengel (1581--1663), was a Benedictine abbot and major theological writer who lived much of his life in Augsburg, Bavaria.
