About Sancteo
Sancteo organizes a multilingual hagiographic corpus so the lives of saints can be explored by name, feast day, era, place, and theme.
Sources
The corpus is based primarily on Les Petits Bollandistes, the lives of saints published by Mgr Paul Guérin, and on older public-domain hagiographic texts when notices explicitly cite them.
Method
Entries are structured, reviewed, and enriched with metadata: summary, feast date, century, associated places, categories, patronages, invocations, miracles, citations, and historical entities.
Scope
Sancteo distinguishes historical data extracted from sources, hagiographic traditions, and editorial navigation elements. Pages are designed as a documentary resource, not as an official liturgical calendar.
