Methodology
Accounts set back in their sources
The classifications help explore a hagiographic corpus. They describe what texts report and are not automatic historical validation, ecclesial recognition or medical advice.
French is the canonical editorial source. Volumes are recalculated from Sancteo’s database and every link between an account and a theme retains its textual evidence.
