Resumen de Glanures d'histoire bollandienne
The reader will find here the edition of three documents from the archives of the first Bollandists, preserved in the present Bollandist library: first, a series of tips given to Rosweyde, probably by the Cologne printer Arnold Mylius, in order to provide quality editions of the Lives of the saints; secondly, a letter from Pierre-François Chifflet to Bolland, dated 16 November 1643, which completes the edition of the correspondence between the famous Franche-Comté scholar and the Antwerp hagiographers (cf. volume four of the Series Tabularium Hagiographicum); thirdly, a letter from the Maurist Étienne Du Laura, sent to Papebroch on 6 July 1669, giving mainly scientific information about St Gerard, founder of Grand-Sauve Abbey; this letter also contains a note from the hand of Mabillon, which would be the earliest attestation of an epistolary exchange between Mabillon and the Bollandists.
