Paul Bedjan's 'Acta Martyrum et Sanctorum' (Acts of the Martyrs and Saints) is a monumental collection of Syriac hagiographical texts. While individual hagiographies contained within the collection may have been translated into English separately, the collection as a whole, as edited by Bedjan in 1896, has not been translated into English. My searches across multiple catalogs yielded no evidence of a complete or partial English translation of this specific Syriac compilation.
