	Bollandist
		The Bollandists are an association of Jesuit scholars publishing the Acta Sanctorum[?] (the Lives of the Saints).
		When the Society of Jesus was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773, the Bollandists moved from Antwerp to Brussels, where they continued their work in the monastery of the Coudenberg until 1788, when the Bollandist Society was suppressed by the Austrian government of the Low Countries.
		After the re-establishment of the Society of Jesus in Belgium, a new Society of Bollandists was formed under the patronage of the Belgian government.

	Victor de Buck
		Bollandist, born at Oudenarde, Flanders, 21 April, 1817; died 28 June, 1876.
		After two years in the novitiate, then at Nivelles, and a year at Tronchiennes reviewing and finishing his literary studies, he went to Namur in September, 1838, to study philosophy and the natural sciences, closing these courses with a public defence of these bearing on these subjects.
		The work of the Bollandists (q.v.) had just been revived and, in spite of his youth, Victor De Buck was summoned to act as assistant to the hagiographers.

	FOOTNOTES.
		The Bollandist text has “filium quondam Potiti Presbyteri,” rendered by Hamilton “son of Potitus, formerly a priest.” The order of the words proves, however, that Nicholson’s translation of that text is correct: “the son of the late Potitus, a presbyter.” Olden adopts that reading.
		Hamilton translates the Bollandist text, “I asked for the means to set sail.” The probability is that Patrick told his dream to the sailors in order to induce the captain to take him on board.
		NT141 The Latin is “ita ut hodie confidenter offeram illi sacrificium ut hostiam viventem animam meam Christo Domino meo.” The reference is to Romans 12:1, as is seen by the Latin hostiam viventem, which occurs in Patrick’s original and in the Itala and Vulg.

	Heritage of Scholarship
		The provincial agreed, and the Society of Bollandists was born.
		In 1837, 25 years after the Jesuit order was restored, the new Society of Bollandists came to be in Brussels, and the volume for October 15—16 appeared in 1845.
		Today’s Bollandists work in a complex of buildings with a school and a church, a publishing house, and a large Jesuit community.

	TIME.com: A Who's Who of Saints -- May 31, 1963 -- Page 2
		Bollandist research has no official standing in the church, but Vatican scholars have often relied on the society's discoveries in deciding whether to eliminate a nonexistent saint from the calendar.
		The society's conclusions are not always welcome: in 1695, the Carmelites were so outraged at Bollandist doubts about the order's clouded early history that they persuaded the Spanish Inquisition to ban the Acta as heretical.
		The Bollandists are not ecclesiastical muckrakers; they aim to produce sober lives of saints that will stand the scrutiny of secular historians, and are as delighted to authenticate a legend as to disprove one.

		Besides this we have dead men brought to life to be baptized, wholesale conversions, including that of "the Empress Alexandra", armies and idols destroyed instantaneously, beams of timber suddenly bursting into leaf, and finally milk flowing instead of blood from the martyr's severed head.
		There is, it is true, a mitigated form of the story, which the older Bollandists have in a measure taken under their protection (see Act.
		But even this abounds both in marvels and in historical contradictions, while modern critics, like Amelineau and Delehaye, though approaching the question from very different standpoints, are agreed in thinking that this mitigated version has been derived from the more extravagant by a process of elimination and rationalization, not vice versa.

	BOOK 13
		By this means it became possible for the learned Mansi to establish f158 several chronological points still more accurately than the Bollandist had done, and all the learned now follow him almost unanimously.
		An examination of the meaning of this title is found in Baronius, and the most probable view is that the Synod obtained this designation from the supposed place of assembly, a porticu beati Petri Apostoli, quae appellatur ad Palmaria, as Anastasius said.
		Since, however, this perpetual worship was ordained at the Synod of which we are speaking, Pagi concluded that the holding of the Synod must be placed after this incident with Sigeric.

	TIME.com: A Who's Who of Saints -- May 31, 1963 -- Page 1
		There is no reliable evidence for the existence of St. Cecilia, and several hundred of the 25,000 saints whose cults have been observed in the Roman Catholic Church seem to be equally fictitious.
		Oddly enough, most of the evidence that cut these legends down to size came not from iconoclastic disciples of Voltaire but from the Bollandists, a tiny society of Catholic priests whose job is compiling material for an accurate, fiction-free Who's Who of the saints.
		The society's leader is Father Maurice Coens, 70, a soft-spoken expert on medieval German saints and a Bollandist for 35 years.

	His Beatitude Gregory III
		Martyr, patron of England, suffered at or near Lydda, also known as Diospolis, in Palestine, probably before the time of Constantine.
		According to the very careful investigation of the whole question recently instituted by Father Delehaye, the Bollandist, in the light of modern sources of information, the above statement sums up all that can safely be affirmed about St. George, despite his early cultus and pre-eminent renown both in East and West.
		Ecclesiastically speaking, St. George's day, 23 April, was ordered to be kept as a lesser holiday as early as 1222, in the national synod of Oxford.

		In its present form the vita cannot have been set down before 976, as it refers to Basil II (976-1025), and was possibly written after 1025.
		Two manuscripts survive from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and were used in 1925 by the Bollandist editors to establish the text translated below.
		Although up to a century separates the author and St. Mary, both lived at a time when Byzantium was at the height of its medieval power, militarily aggressive and not undergoing any great religious controversy.

		Both the Bollandist scholar, Thomas Esser, and later at the turn of the last century, Herbert Thurston concluded that the 400-year tradition attributing the rosary to St. Dominic was a case of mistaken identity (although Dominicans from the fifteenth century were its chief promoters).
