medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I seem to recall reading or hearing that the Bollandist *Acta Sanctorum*, begun in 1643 and completed in 1940 (granted with interruptions), was the longest ongoing publishing project in western history. Does that sound plausible? I can't find confirmation of this but neither can I think of any other publishing enterprise that lasted longer.
