Bollandists | 1 BOLLANDISTS A society of Jesuit fathers named after John van Bolland (1596-1665), who founded it on the basis of a plan conceived by Heribert Rosweyde (1569-1629), who did not live to see it materialize. The plan called for the assembling and publication of a universal register of the lives of saints from all possible original sources. The outcome of the labors of successive generations of Bollandists was publication of a multivolume work entitled ACTA SANCTORUM (still in progress). The work of the Bollandists was suspended in 1773, when the Society of Jesus was suppressed in Belgium. Their activities were resumed in 1837, when further supplements to the Acta sanctorum were published in the Analecta Bollandiana, a quarterly review devoted to hagiography and the lives of saints. It consists mainly of unpublished source material. The Bollandists’ work is arranged according to the saints’ days, and at present they have reached November. H. Delehaye is one of the society’s most eminent editors. He is credited with sections entitled Martyr et confesseur (Analecta Bollandiana 39 [1921]), Le calendrier d’Oxyrhynque pour l’année 535-36(Analecta Bollandiana 48 [1924]), Les martyrs d’Egypte (Analecta Bollandiana 40 [1922]; also republished separately [Brussels, 1923]),La personalité historique de St. Paul de Thèbes (Analecta Bollandiana 44 [1926]), and Une vie inédite de St. Jean l’aumonier (Analecta Bollandiana 46 [1927]).

I. The Irish Franciscan college of St. Anthony at Louvain was granted a bull of foundation by Pope Paul V on 3 April 1607. This small house in what is now Leuven, Belgium, became one of the most intense centres of Irish engagement with Europe. Its history, both that of the friars who inhabited the college itself and that of the soldiers, diplomats and merchants who supported it, is also the story of Ireland’s decisive step into Europe. St. Anthony’s College owed both its foundation and location to Florence Conry a Franciscan friar and future archbishop of Tuam. Conry, a native of the townland of Figh part of the civil parish of Tibohine, barony of Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon, belonged to the learned family of the Uí Mhaoil Chonaire and had been trained in seanchas or traditional learning before leaving to study in Salamanca. He later entered the Franciscan order and, apart from a short return to Ireland as ‘confessor, adviser and favourite’ of Red Hugh O’Donnell just before the battle of Kinsale in 1601, spent his life in the Spanish dominions. The combination of Gaelic sensibility, Spanish courtiership, political astuteness and Latinate scholarship found in Conry helps explain the choice of Louvain as a novitiate-in-exile and house of studies for the Irish Franciscans. Founded in 1425, Louvain’s medieval university had developed into one of the intellectual powerhouses of Europe. Given its short distance from the border with the Protestant Netherlands the university had become one of the key centres of counter-reformation thought which, when combined with its proximity to the vast printing presses of Antwerp made it an ideal training ground for priests for the Irish mission.

From the early martyrs whose exploits Antwerp, 1607: Jesuit father Heribert Rosweyde devised a plan for a sustained generations of readers, to the great mystical authors, philologically accurate publication of all the early and medieval Lives of from pilgrimages and the trade in relics, to accounts of prodigious saints.

FRANCIS XAVIER IN EUROPE AND ASIA Rachel Miller, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Recent historical studies have focused on the vital role that Catholic saints played after the Council of Trent, investigating how these holy figures were utilized to alleviate all manner of problems besetting the Post-Tridentine Church, emerging European nation states, and individual Catholics. My dissertation, however, approaches this issue from an art historical perspective, considering how images of St. Francis Xavier, the sixteenth-century Jesuit missionary, exercised considerable agency in an early modern world rife with global crisis. Specifically, I investigate Xaverian prints and paintings created in border zones of early modern Catholicism or in territories of the Iberian empires, particularly Antwerp, Goa, and Naples.

JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY ‘contemplative/mystical experience’ are nonsensical, as all language is self- reflexive, and all experience is interpretation. Such texts would be better identified as devotional, abstract, didactic or anagogical. Another common error is that affective technically refers to motivation, not to experience. In his reading of Ambrose and his sources, Schwanda uses the existential anachronisms of the Cartesian subject. It is folly to apply a methodology that allows for only one epistemology (linear self-consciousness) to texts that assume two epistemologies (the second being the larger, more rational and objective deep mind, which is out of sight but not influence). It is folly to apply a methodology that looks for closure to texts that lead the reader into infinite openness. The author wrongly equates so-called spiritual direction, which grew out of the Counter-Reformation, with pre- Reformation practices of consulting the elders or having a confessor. He even attempts to put Ambrose on the procrustean grid of a modern system for categorising ‘experience’ called ‘the spiritual movement matrix’. To sum up, it is quite possible that Ambrose in his time stood outside the solipsistic experiential extravaganza that characterises much of today’s studies of religious people and their texts, but he needs to be examined through a more independent, sympathetic and epistemologically accurate lens.

The Pseudo-Amphilochian Vita Basilii: an Apocryphal Life of Saint Basil the Great
THE PSEUDO-AMPHILOCHIAN VITA BASILII: AN APOCRYPHAL LIFE OF SAINT BASIL THE GREAT John Wortlev At a time when the scholarly world is commemorating the sixteen- hundredth anniversary of the death of Saint Basil the Great (ob. 1st January 379), it might not be impertinent to recall to westerners that for almost a millennium the real Saint Basil was virtually unknown to a large segment of Christendom, and that in his stead was honoured a large ly fictitious saint of the same name and purlieu whose supposed deeds rendered him well deserving of the popular acclaim which he widely re ceived. The greatness of the genuine Saint Basil is of course beyond dispute for a variety of reasons which need hardly be rehearsed in this article. In the famous encomium delivered by Gregory of Nazianzus within three years of the saint's death he is already referred to without any explana tion or defence as o kt i,oq, Basil the Great, to which title Gregory seems to be able to assume universal consent. Basil's greatness was later reinforced by his association with the two other "hierarchs" in popular devotion: the above mentioned Gregory, "the Theologian” as he is known to the Orthodox, and Saint John Chrysostom; and from the tenth century his greatness served the additional purpose of distinguishing him from the once spectacular but now obscure Saint Basil-the-less.^ There is yet another aspect of Basil's greatness which is none of his making: of Basil it is possible to know more and to know it more surely, than it is of any other person, with the possible exception of Julian the Apostate, who lived in the first millennium A.D.

Losing Origen and Gaining Retributive Judgment in the Hagiographical Literature of the Early Byzantine World Todd
Just Deserts: Losing Origen and Gaining Retributive Judgment in the Hagiographical Literature of the Early Byzantine World Todd Edison French Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Todd Edison French All rights reserved ABSTRACT Just Deserts: Losing Origen and Gaining Retributive Judgment in the Hagiographical Literature of the Early Byzantine World Todd Edison French The rise in production and distribution of Christian Hagiography in the Early Byzantine Empire points towards a unique moment in Christian History. The role of the saint was moved from the margins to a central and dynamic position within the church hierarchy and broader religious landscape. Meeting the pagan claims of power and prestige, hagiographers crafted a saint that was more retributive than the earlier martyrologies and histories. The ascetic took on a role that was more akin to God’s agent than suffering stranger. The deserts of Syria, Palestine and Egypt become the territory of struggle against a world that had fallen out of step with God’s will, but was slowly being corrected. This research looks for reasons as to why this prominent form of literature became more deliberately retributive through its progression toward the sixth century. A major focus of the argument will be the influence that Origen had on Christian theological interpretation. Beginning with a section on Origen, this research will move on through the five most prominent hagiographical compilations in late antiquity. In the end, it will show that each of these hagiographers’ relationship with Origen’s teaching and subsequent communities yielded a particular flavor of hagiography on a spectrum of retributive justice.

Greenwood 1 Jonathan E. Greenwood History, 1st year PhD AS.100.786 - Early Modern European Seminar April 19th, 2012 Advisor: Richard L. Kagan The Use and Abuse of Hagiography for Early Modern Life: Pedro de Ribadeneyra and his Flos sanctorum In 1614, nine years following the appearance of the first volume of Don Quixote, Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda published a knock-off version of Cervantes‟s famous novel. It too presents the image of a knight whose addiction to reading romances of chivalry stimulated his imagination to the point of madness. But whereas Cervantes offered no remedy for this particular affliction, his imitator did, by providing Don Quixote with as copy of Alonso de Villegas‟s Flos sanctorum, a compilation of saints‟ lives written in the vernacular, that was first published in 1578.1 The cure worked. Piety soon replaced distraction, a transition that Quixote explained to his trusty companion, Sancho Panza, in the following way: Quixote: I neither read nor own any books of chivalry, but I read this Flos sanctorum, which is very good. Sancho: And who was this Flas sanctorum [sic]? Was it a King or some giant of those windmills that turned him a year ago? Quixote: Sancho in every way you are stupid and coarse. This book contains the lives of saints: such as Saint Lawrence who was roasted, Saint Bartholomew who was flayed, Saint Catherine who was passed through a wheel of knives and so on for all the other saints and martyrs for the entire year. Sit down and read the life of the Saint for August 20th; the Church celebrates Saint Bernard [of Clairvaux] then.2 1 Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda, Segundo tomo del ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha (Tarragona: Felipe Roberto, 1614), 1v.
