Legenda aurea sanctorum, sive, Lombardica historia is a collection of saints' lives compiled by Jacobus de Voragine in the late thirteenth century and printed by Günther Zainer in Augsburg for readers of the church calendar. Its woodcut panels show saints' legends in a plain medieval manner: figures in simple robes against bare ground, with narrow framing rules and text set in dense blocks beside each scene.
