Analecta Bollandiana

The journal Analecta Bollandiana was launched in 1882, initially as a complement to the Acta Sanctorum series, but it soon acquired a life of its own, featuring articles by Bollandists and other scholars, text editions, book reviews, and more. After 140 years, it still remains the main reference in the field of critical hagiography.
Since the very beginning, this journal was intended to provide continuous updates to the Acta Sanctorum series, and to serve as an entirely new instrument devoted to hagiographical research. Every issue contains both critical editions of hagiographical texts (Greek, Latin, Oriental) and fundamental research on hagiography. The articles are published in modern international languages (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish), and are accompanied by summaries in both English and French. A large section of each issue is devoted to book reviews and bibliography, making the Analecta Bollandiana indispensable for any department of medieval, Byzantine, Slavonic and Christian Oriental studies, as well as Church history, comparative religion, ethnology, and folklore.
