Jacobus de Voragine left a list of his own works. Speaking of himself in his _Chronicon januense_, he says, "While he was in his order, and after he had been made archbishop, he wrote many works. For he compiled the legends of the saints (_Legendae sanctorum_) in one volume, adding many things from the _Historia tripartita et scholastica_, and from the chronicles of many writers." The other writings he claims are two anonymous volumes of "Sermons concerning all the Saints" whose yearly feasts the church celebrates. Of these volumes, he adds, one is very diffuse, but the other short and concise. Then follow _Sermones de omnibus evangeliis dominicalibus_ for every Sunday in the year; _Sermones de omnibus evangeliis_, i.e. a book of discourses on all the Gospels, from Ash Wednesday to the Tuesday after Easter; and a treatise called "_Marialis_, qui totus est de B. Maria compositus," consisting of about 160 discourses on the attributes, titles, &c., of the Virgin Mary. In the same work the archbishop claims to have written his _Chronicon januense_ in the second year of his pontificate (1293), but it extends to 1296 or 1297. To this list Echard adds several other works, such as a defence of the Dominicans, printed at Venice in 1504, and a _Summa virtutum et vitiorum Guillelmi Peraldi_, a Dominican who died about 1250. Jacobus is also said by Sixtus of Siena (_Biblioth. Sacra_, lib. ix.) to have translated the Old and New Testaments into his own tongue. "But," adds Echard, "if he did so, the version lies so closely hid that there is no recollection of it," and it may be added that it is highly improbable that the man who compiled the Golden Legend ever conceived the necessity of having the Scriptures in the vernacular.
