Witnesses what’s written beneath title of saintly Swede’s book? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bystanders

'witnesses' is the definition.
(I know this)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for bystanders that I've seen before include "Onlookers" , "Those happening to be present" , "Observers" , "Spectators" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
