Le Goff, a historian of the Annales school, examines Saint Louis (Louis IX of France), the only canonized French king. The work is not a chronicle of his reign but an inquiry into his figure between reality and legend, using sources such as Joinville, to reach the individual and his mythical image.
Published in 1996 in Gallimard's Bibliothèque des histoires collection; the volume includes bibliographic references and indexes.
A reference work for those interested in medieval history, biography, and the French monarchy.
Jacques Le Goff was a French historian and prolific author specializing in the Middle Ages, particularly the 12th and 13th centuries.
