> quid significant litterae illae BHL?
Fr Anselm,
BHL is not, as many French media types would guess, the fashion-plate
pseudo-philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy. Rather, it stands for *Bibliotheca
hagiographica latina antiquae et mediae aetatis*, edd. Socii Bollandiani, two
vols, 1898-1899; reprint in one vol., 1992. Subsidia hagiographica, no. 6.
Brussel/Bruxelles: Socie'te' des Bollandistes.
Check also:
H. Fros, ed., *Bibliotheca hagiographica latina antiquae et mediae aetatis. Novum
supplementum*. Subsidia hagiographica, 70. Brussel/Bruxelles: Socie'te' des
Bollandistes, 1986. This work includes the 1901-1911 editio altera of the BHL,
containing the material appearing after publication of the original BHL.
Thank you for asking this question, and may it serve as a guide to others who may
not know or understand some details that are posted to the list: ask the list
about it! (Feel free to do so in English, if your Latin is a bit rusty! :-> )
