Acta Sanctorum
| Series of volumes, still uncompleted, recording the lives of the saints and martyrs of the Christian church. Suggested in 1607 by a Flemish Jesuit, Heribert Rosweyde, the first volumes were published in 1643 by John Bolland (1596–1665). Other Jesuits who continued the work were called Bollandists after him. |
