Literatur des 17. bis 19. Jahrhunderts – Erste Ausgabe. - Johann Bollandus hatte 1643 begonnen, die Biographien aller Heiligen actenmäßig, historisch und kritisch geprüft zu veröffentlichen, fortgeführt von zahlreichen Mitarbeitern, die ihm zu Ehre "Bollandisten genannt" wurden. - Vgl. ADB 3, S. 109 - Das gigantische Projekt, alle historischen Lebensgeschichten von christlichen Heiligen wissenschaftlich-kritisch aufzuarbeiten, stieß auf heftigen Widerstand bei anderen Orden (insbesondere den Karmeliten und Dominikanern). Diese sahen traditionelle Legenden durch die Quellenkritik der Jesuiten bedroht. Vorliegender Band sammelt alle Verteidigungsschriften (Apologien) der Bollandisten. Er diente als offizielles Rechtfertigungswerk, das Papst Benedikt XIV. gewidmet wurde. - Name auf Innendeckel, kleine Notiz auf Vorsatz, insgesamt gutes, sehr sauberes Exemplar.

Literature of 17th to 19th Century – First edition. - In 1643, Johann Bollandus began publishing the biographies of all the saints, examined from a documentary, historical, and critical perspective. This work was continued by numerous collaborators, who were called "Bollandists" in his honor. - See ADB 3, p. 109 - This massive project to scientifically and critically examine all the historical biographies of Christian saints met with fierce resistance from other religious orders (especially the Carmelites and Dominicans). They viewed traditional legends as threatened by the Jesuits' source criticism. This volume collects all the defensive treatises (apologies) written by the Bollandists. It served as an official work of justification dedicated to Pope Benedict XIV. - Blind-embossed calfskin strap, currently with 5 holes and remnants of the clasp (discreetly restored), slightly scuffed. - Name on the inside cover, a short note on the endpaper, overall, a good, very clean copy.
