The Long Life of Saint Gerard (Latin: Legenda maior S. Gerardi), also known as Long Life of Saint Gerald[1] or Passion of Saint Gerard, is the hagiography of Bishop Gerard of Csanád, who was murdered by pagan Hungarians in 1046. The longer version of his legends was compiled from earlier sources in the early 14th century.
The text was preserved in two codices.[3] The older manuscript was written in the 15th century.[3] The other manuscript is an almost verbatim copy of the older codex.[3] The first manuscript is held in the Austrian National Library in Vienna, the other codex in the Munich Public Library.[3] Other variants of the text also existed because a 16th-century legend of St Gerard, published in Venice, was based on a version different from the ones preserved in the two codices.[3]
