Description about this journal
‘Among the many current periodicals in the world, very few can claim such an authority, that even the oldest issues keep all their usefulness one century after their publication. That is however the case for Analecta Bollandiana, a journal of critical hagiography, edited and published since 1882 by the Société des Bollandistes in Brussels. Since the very beginning, the journal was conceived as a continuous updating of the prestigious Acta Sanctorum series, as well as an entirely new instrument devoted to hagiographical research. Every issue contains both critical editions of hagiographical texts (Greek, Latin, Oriental…), and fundamental studies about hagiography. The articles are published in modern international languages (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish), each of them being provided with an English and a French summary. About one fifth of each issue is devoted to book reviews and bibliography on hagiography.’ (from https://bollandistes.org/our-publications/analecta-bollandiana/, last accessed 30 January 2025).
