August · 16 of 31 days · 216 entries (in progress)

August is being published as it is translated. 16 of its 31 days are complete and appear below; the rest are still in progress. Days that are not yet listed have not been translated, not omitted.

Because the entries for a month are re-divided once that month is whole, a few August pages may move to different addresses when the remaining days are finished. Text already published here will not be withdrawn.

Support the Translation

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.

The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
