| 520 | _a"A Book of the West, Volume 2: Cornwall" by S. Baring-Gould is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as an introduction to the history and culture of Cornwall, focusing on various aspects, including the lives of Cornish saints, holy wells, and crosses that dot the landscape. The author likely aims to document and illuminate the unique heritage of this region, infusing the narrative with rich historical insights and local lore. The opening portion of the book delves into the historical significance of Cornish saints, categorizing them into five classes based on their origins, such as members of the royal Dumnonian family and Irish-Welsh colonists. Baring-Gould uses anecdotes, such as a humorous tale involving the devil contemplating the peculiar nature of Cornish saints, to engage readers while discussing the spread of Christianity in the area and the establishment of churches by these revered figures. The chapter sets the foundation for understanding the intertwining of local history and religious practices, encouraging readers to appreciate the cultural heritage of Cornwall as seen through the lives and legends of its saints.
