This monumental work of John Bolland (a learned Jesuit, 1596- 1665), Godrfr. Henschen (|1681), Dan. Papebroch (t!714), and their as sociates and followers, called Bollandists^ contains biographies of all the saints of the Catholic Church in the order of the calendar, and divided into months. They are not critical histories, but compila tions of an immense material of facts and fiction, which illustrate the life and manners of the ancient and mediaeval church. Potthast justly calls it a " riesenha/tes Dcnkmal wissenschqftlichen Strebens" It was carried on with the aid of the Belgic government, which con tributed (since 1837) 6,000 francs annually.

Theiner (d. 1874), Bar-le-Duc, 1864 sqq. Likewise a work of herculean industry, but to be used with critical caution, as it contains many spurious documents, legends and fictions, and is written in the interest and defence of the papacy.
