Paul Bedjan's 'Acta Martyrum et Sanctorum' (Acts of the Martyrs and Saints) is a monumental collection of Syriac hagiographical texts. While individual lives of saints contained within this multi-volume collection have been translated into English from various sources (Greek, Latin, or other Syriac manuscripts), there is no evidence of a complete English translation of Bedjan's specific 1895 Syriac edition. The collection remains a primary source text for scholars of Syriac Christianity, and no English translation of the full set or this specific volume exists.
