===============================
Jacobus de Voragine[a] (c. 1230 – 13/16 July 1298) was an Italian chronicler and archbishop of Genoa. He was the author, or more accurately the compiler, of the Golden Legend, a collection of the legendary lives of the greater saints of the medieval church that was one of the most popular religious works of the Middle Ages.

Jacobus describes the miracles of Mary and explains specific local customs and usages on Marian feast days.
Since most of these usages do not exist anymore, Jacobus de Varagine serves as a valuable source for the study of medieval Marian customs.
Theologically Jacobus is one of the first of several Christian writers, who view Mary as mediatrix or mediator between God and humanity.
In his view of the mystical body of Christ, she is the neck through which all graces flow from Christ to his body.
This view was later shared by others such as Bernardino of Siena, and, most recently, by one of the noted mariologists of the 20th century, Gabriel Roschini.
