The Book of Saint Nicholas by James Kirke Paulding is a collection of stories and legends about the beloved figure of Saint Nicholas. The book is divided into three parts, each containing a series of tales about the saint's life and miracles. The first part of the book focuses on the historical Saint Nicholas, who was a bishop in the fourth century in what is now modern-day Turkey. The stories in this section describe his generosity and kindness towards the poor and needy, as well as his miraculous interventions on behalf of those in trouble. The second part of the book explores the more mythical aspects of Saint Nicholas, including his association with Christmas and the tradition of gift-giving. The stories in this section include tales of Saint Nicholas visiting children in their dreams and leaving them presents, as well as his famous rescue of three young girls from a life of prostitution. The third and final part of the book contains a collection of songs, poems, and prayers dedicated to Saint Nicholas. These works reflect the deep reverence and affection that people have for the saint, and offer insight into the ways in which he has been celebrated and venerated throughout history. Overall, The Book of Saint Nicholas is a charming and informative collection of stories and traditions that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and folklore of this beloved figure.Translated from the Original Dutch of Dominie Nicholas Aegidius Oudenarde.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
