- Abstract
- This short essay focuses on the work of the Bollandists and their con- tribution to the evolution of hagiography in the Western world. It shows how Bollandus himself, after sixteen centuries of hagiographical literature and Ro- sweydus’ initial draft, planned the famed Acta Sanctorum series in the wake of previous collections of spiritual biographies. The fate of the collection is examined next; and the paper concludes with a few notes about hagiography qua science with- in the larger framework of Catholic spiritual theology.
