The Bollandists are an association of scholars who have studied hagiography and the cult of the saints since the early seventeenth century. They publish the Acta Sanctorum, an encyclopedic critical edition of the lives of saints. Also, they publish the Analecta Bollandiana, a journal on critical hagiography, twice a year. On their website, they link to their electronic publications/databases: BHGms (Bibliotheca Hagiographica Graeca manuscripta), the Acta Sanctorum database and the BHGms (Bibliotheca Hagiographica Graeca manuscripta). They also provide a list of useful links and have a newsletter.
