1596 1665 Carried Flemish Jesuit Johannes Lives Saints Scholar Today
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases Jean De Bolland (1596-1665), a renowned Flemish Jesuit scholar, whose groundbreaking work in hagiography, or the study of saints' lives, continues to be carried on by the Bollandists to this day. Born in Leuven, Belgium, Bolland entered the Society of Jesus in 1612 and dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge, particularly in the areas of history and theology. Bolland's most significant contribution to the scholarly world is his "Acta Sanctorum," a comprehensive collection of the lives, miracles, and writings of the saints. This monumental work, which began in 1643 and was published in 16 volumes between 1643 and 1694, is considered a seminal work in the field of hagiography. It is still regarded as an essential reference for scholars and theologians seeking to understand the lives and legends of the saints. Bolland's dedication to his work was unwavering, and he spent countless hours in libraries and archives, meticulously researching and compiling the information for his "Acta Sanctorum." His tireless efforts have left a lasting impact on the study of saints' lives and continue to inspire scholars and researchers around the world. This photograph, taken from an original portrait, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man, whose legacy continues to shape our understanding of the lives of the saints. The portrait captures Bolland's intellectual intensity and his deep commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, making it a fitting tribute to a man whose work has stood the test of time.
