Introduction:

In the great Acta Sanctorum (Acts of the Saints), there is a sizable section, written by the Bollandists of olde, concerning St. John Gualbert. This entry comprises: a Prefatory Commentary, in 12 sections; two accounts of his life, each in 10 chapters; an account of his miracles, in three books of 17, 4, and 3 parts, respectively; and an Appendix on the miraculous crucifix which inclined its head to the Saint. In all, the work spans about 136 pages.
