The article analyzes the miracles described in the biographies of two «founder- saints» who were active in Kãzarün, a small village of Fãrs during the ioth and 14th centuries. These miracles happened before the birth of them and anticipate their future sanctity. Their actions are inscribed in the Prophet Mutiammad tradition, they have also a pedagogical worth for the disciples. They anticipate the death of both holy men to immortalize their work as founders of the order. Finally these miracles, happen over the tombs of the saints attracting in this way the pilgrims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reports on a donation to poet Wilfred Owen Collection in the English Faculty Library at Oxford, England. In 1978 Wilfred Owen's cousin, Leslie Gunston, gave the Owen books and manuscripts still in his possession to the collection. In 1988 he presented a number of further items, including twenty-three of his own books. Several books contain the bookplate, which Gunston designed for himself. There seem to be no marginal or textual annotations. Some notes on the new donation follow. A collection of fourteen shards and other relics, apparently Roman, must be the survivors from the sack of "almost a hundred large pieces" given to the cousins in 1910.
