Book Two - Chapter 22

Of a boy who recovered his sight.

At the same festival a certain boy who had lost the sight of his eyes recovered his vision by means of the same apostle and, being able to see, joined the others who could also see in magnifying and proclaiming the mercy of God and the power of the blessed Bartholomew, as shown by this sign from heaven.
