• Resumen

  • [...]even if a text exists about a martyr who otherwise fits the criteria, if that particular narrative was not demonstrably known to either author, it is not included. 4) The narrative had to be produced before the middle of the fifth century. Rebillard reserves some of his highest praise for Thierry Ruinart (1657–1709), who, in rejection of the Bollandist model, applied critical standards to his work and returned his collection to a Eusebian-style historical project, not a theological or polemical one. While its target audience is scholars and graduate students, it could also profitably be used (in parts or in whole) with advanced undergraduates, particularly those with facility in Latin and/or Greek.
