>      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! :-> )
