Antiquarianismus, Hagiographie und Historie im 17. Jahrhundert: Zum Werk der Bollandisten. Ein wissenschaftshistorischer Versuch

Product Description The Acta Sanctorum founded by Jean Bolland (1596-1665), a Jesuit in Antwerp, are one of the works of early modern antiquarianism which have had the greatest impact. Bolland and his successors processed incredible amounts of text and data, established networks of scholars, conducted controversies with considerable intelligence and effectiveness; all of these qualities make the Acta Sanctorum an ideal object for deepening more recent approaches in the history of scholarship and the history of early modern historiography and hagiography. Review Sawilla legt hier eine detailreiche, auf breiter Quellen- und Literaturbasis aufbauende und äußerst treffsicher formulierte Untersuchung vor, die [...] die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der facettenreichen Geschichtsschreibung des 17. Jahrhunderts deutlich vorantreiben wird. Andreea Badea in: Theologische Revue 5/2010Sawilla's Antiquarianismus [...] is certainly going to be a landmark for a long time. For its erudition and deep knowledge of Bollandist sources as well as editorial practices it will stay unsurpassed for many years to come.
