"Legendario di sancti" is a woodcut print from 1514 by the anonymous artist known as Pseudo Jacobus de Voragine. This work is a page from a book, likely the _Legenda aurea_ which features a woodcut border with classical and putti figures, and a scene of a monk writing at a desk. The woodcuts are characteristic of the era, and this print is a good example of religious devotional works produced in the 16th century. The print is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
