Saints: A Visual Guide​ - Edward and Lorna Mornin
At last, a dictionary of saints that gives you instant recognition of who they are and the origins of the traditional ways they have been depicted. Edward and Lorna Mornin focus on close to 200 of the more popular and widely represented saints: From the Apostles at the birth of the Church, up to Padre Pio and others from the 20th century. A brief account of the saint's achievements and life are recounted. Details of their traditional attributes, such as tools of their trade or the instruments of their martyrdom, are given. This information complements an artistic representation of the saint, often taken from popular, folk, or native art from around the world, as well as from masters of the Western artistic canon.

Saints
A Visual Guide includes a comprehensive reference index through which saints can be identified by looking up specific attributes or symbols - from anchors (St. Clement) to wounds (St. Roch if in the leg, St. Rita if in the brow). Practical, attractive, and well researched, this gift book will be appreciated by students and lovers of art.

Edward Mornin is professor emeritus of Germanic Studies at the University of British Columbia.

Lorna Mornin is a former scientist at UBC, and a photographer.
