The Catholic encyclopedia (Volume 9); an international work of reference on the constitution, doctrine, discipline and history of the Catholic Church . ed until 16 May, 1728. The original Legend of St. Margaret was writtenby her director and friend, Fra Giunta Bevegnati. Itis almost entirely taken up with her revelations, andwas mainh dictated by Margaret herself, in obedienceto her directors. It is published by the Bollandists in Acta SS., mense Februarii, die 22 . The most nota-ble edition of the Legend however is that publishedin 1793 by da Pelago, together with an Italian transla-tion and twelve learned dissertations dealing with thelife and times of the saint. In 1897 a new edition ofda Pelagos work, but without the dissertations, waspublished at Siena by Crivelli. An English version ofthe greater part of the Legend , with an introductoryessa^?, has been published by Fr. Cuthbert, (London, 1906). See also Marchese, Vita di S.

Invested with the habitat the age of four, she was transferred in her tenth yearto the Convent of the Blessed Virgin founded by herparents on the Hasen Insel near Buda, the MargaretenInsel near Budapest to-day, and where the ruins ofthe convent are still to be seen. Here Margaret passedall her life, which was consecrated to contemplationand penance, and was venerated as a saint during herlifetime. She strenuously opposed the plans of herfather, who for political reasons wished to marry herto King Ottokar II of Bohemia. Margaret appears tohave taken solemn vows when she was eighteen. Alln
