medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The Chadwyck-Healey digitized versions of the _Patrologia Latina_ and the _Acta Sanctorum_ were double-keyed (with .pdfs used for the ornamental title pages of the _Acta Sanctorum_) and are fully searchable. I have seen reams and reams of marked-up photocopied pages of the _Acta Sanctorum_ in Chadwyck-Healey's offices in Cambridge.
Best,
