Acta Sanctorum

Begun over 350 years ago, the Acta Sanctorum have from the start been at the forefront of critical method and of scholarship. Rare indeed are those historical works which can be compared to them, by reason either of breadth of documentation or precision of detail.

Acta sanctorumThe vagaries of history (wars, revolutions, and even the suppression of the Society of Jesus) have made it practically impossible to find a complete original edition of the Acta Sanctorum (67 volumes). True, a private publisher did reprint the Acta at Venice between 1734 and 1760 - in part - and the Parisian editor Palmé brought out a new edition between 1863 and 1870 - also incomplete, and not without certain defects. That is why Éditions Culture et Civilisation, with the agreement and collaboration of the Bollandists, from 1966 to 1971 undertook a reprint of the first 60 volumes of the original edition (this reprint is now sold by Brepols Publishers). The general indices for the months January to October, the Auctaria Octobris, the six volumes of November and the Propylaeum of December are still available from the Bollandists, either in the original edition or in reprint in the case of the volumes sold out.

Single volumes of the editions published in Antwerp (original edition, since 1643), Venice (1734-1760) and Paris (1863-1870) are also available.
