		Assemani (2 vols, folio, Rome, 1748) and the "Acta martyrum et sanctorum" of Bedjan (7 vols., 8vo, Leipzig, 1890-97); for the Georgian, to the "Sakart'hvelos Samot'hkhe" of G. Sabmin (St. Petersburg, 1832).
		With the developments attained by all branches of science in the course of the last century, the importance of archæological discoveries in that period, the progress of philology and palæography, the possibility of using means of rapid communication to obviate the difficulty of scattered material, hagiography could not but take a new orientation.
		The Bollandists have been induced to undertake, side by side with the compilation of the "Acta Sanctorum", a course of labours which, without modifying the spirit of their work, assures for it a broader and firmer basis and a more rigorous application of the principles of historical criticism.

		In Acta Sanctorum such works are cross-referenced where appropriate (e.g., treatment of the life of BENEDICT OF NURSIA, which is the second book of Gregory's Dialogi II, is reserved for the main entry on Gregory the Great, but Benedict's separate miracula and translatio, composed by later authors, are the subject of entries here).
		Over half the main draft of Acta Sanctorum was completed in Cambridge during a Fellowship Leave year, 1993-94, for which I am grateful to the President and Trustees of Queens College, Dean Raymond Erickson, and my colleagues in English at Queens and the CUNY Graduate Center.
		Finally, it is a pleasure to acknowledge that this English Acta Sanctorum is deeply indebted to the past and present members of the Société des Bollandistes, Brussels, whose tireless scholarship has pioneered and continuously enabled serious study of medieval saints and their texts.

	Acta Sanctorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acta Sanctorum (Acts of the Saints) is an encyclopedic text in 68 folio volumes of documents examining the lives of Christian saints, in essence a critical hagiography, which is organised according to each saint's feast day.
		The Acta Sanctorum have from the start been at the forefront of the critical method of scholarship.
		When the Jesuits were suppressed by the Habsburg governor of the Low Countries in 1788, the 'Bollandistes' continued their work, in the Abbey of Tongerloo.

		Begun over 350 years ago, the Acta Sanctorum have from the start been at the forefront of critical method and of scholarship.
		That is why Éditions Culture et Civilisation, with the agreement and collaboration of the Bollandists, from 1966 to 1971 undertook a reprint of the first 60 volumes of the original edition (this reprint is now sold by Brepols Publishers).

		Its purpose is to call attention to an analogous body of material which lies at the service of students of American history, and to suggest certain reflections as to its content and use.
		The American "Acta Sanctorum", on the other hand, appears in the shape of numberless little books, shabby and faded, printed most often on provincial presses and seldom straying far from the place of origin.
		But in general we have only the shabby little provincial books, first and only editions, raw materials of an "Acta Sanctorum", not to be brought together without some difficulty, and nowise provided with a Bollandist apparatus of critical or historical comment.

		Acta Sanctorium is the best-known source for the study of the lives of saints, having been compiled by the Bollandists, a branch of the Jesuits, over the course of several centuries.
