Acta Martyrum et Sanctorum, Tomus III
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Paul Bedjan's 'Acta Martyrum et Sanctorum' (Acts of the Martyrs and Saints) is a monumental multi-volume collection of Syriac hagiographical texts published in the late 19th century. While individual hagiographies contained within these volumes may have been translated into English separately, the collection as a whole, edited by Bedjan, has not been translated into English. My searches across multiple catalogs yielded no results for an English translation of this specific work.

This collection of ancient Syriac narratives exposes the raw reality of faith under the shadow of the sword. Readers will encounter the voices of martyrs who defined the boundaries of the early Church through their defiance of earthly kings.
