Jacopo da Varazze (or from Varagine or from Vorgue or Beato Jacopo de Fazio) (1230 -1298) was a Dominican friar, Archbishop of Genoa. Starting from 1260 until 1298 he devoted himself to the compilation of his complatiosa manuscript work in Latin, the Legalea Aurea. It is a hagiographic saint, ie a collection of over one hundred fifty lives of saints (from antiquity up to its days) interspersed by about thirty chapters dedicated to the main Christological, marian and liturgical festions. This work (a summa of agiography until the century. . The present volume of 1535 was taken care of by the Dominican Claudio de Rota and is considered the most important ancient edition both for the rigorosity of the text and, mainly, due to the fine artistic care: the beginning of the description of the life of each of the over 150 Saints and the individual festivities reported is indicated with a capile where the saint of which will be discussed is depicted. The binding is in coeva leather, with gold title on the back and the paper sheets are watermarked with the word "B Laus Deo" . The only other existing copy is preserved in the Library Guarnacci di Volterra
