Saints' lives are a major resource for anyone concerned with the history of the
late ancient world,
the Latin Middle ages. Just as whole genres of ancient literature vanished or diminished, the genre of hagiography
became a major form of literary production. Such saint's Lives - or vitae - survive in astonishing numbers. They
provide information on, among other things:- details of daily life; food and drink; organization of local rural and urban
society; the impact of commerce; gender relations; class relations; and even, on occasion, specific dates for military and
political history.
The web site of the Bollandists, a society within the Jesuits which for three centuries has led the way in the scientific investigation of hagiography and the cult of the saints.
