- Courte biographie
- Attwater was born in Essex, England, on 24 December 1892. His parents were Methodists who became Anglicans while Attwater was a child. He himself became a Catholic at the age of 18. He studied Law but did not earn a degree.
He served in the Sinai and Palestine campaign during the First World War, developing an interest in Eastern Christianity while in the Middle East. After the war he lived for a time on Caldey Island, undergoing the influence of the monks of Caldey Abbey. He also became a friend and admirer of Eric Gill. Throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s he was a frequent contributor to the Catholic press in both Britain and America, and a prolific author of books on Christian themes.
In 1936 he was one of the founders of the Catholic peace movement Pax, which opposed the invasion of Abyssinia by Fascist Italy.
Attwater was married to Rachel Attwater of South Wales, a fellow historian and published author on Catholic saints in the Orient. He died in Storrington, Sussex, in February 1977.

Avenel Dictionary Of Saints par Donald Attwater
An alphabetical reference book with the lives and legends of more than 750 saints.
Genial, witty, and informative. It should be noted that the author writes from a Roman Catholic perspective, so that, among others, the considerable Anglican calendar of saints goes unmentioned.
Read in Mexico 2009 San Miguel, Guanguato heavily biased in favor of English saints at the expense of Mexican as even Our Lay of Guadalupe
