It seems very repetitive which I suppose is a result of the subject and the sources. There is a similarity in many stories, each saint's life was written down years later by medieval biographers and certain elements were expected.
If you want to know where to go to find the traces this is a book worth reading. If you want to find out more about what is known about the real lives, well a lot has disappeared, legends have built up and finding the truth is unlikely. It would also have been nice to have some photos. There are some maps, simple line drawings and a reasonable bibliography though. ( )
