ANSWER: martyrs [accept protomartyrs]
[10h] Moss’s The Myth of Persecution cites the findings of this Jesuit philological society that published the 68-volume Acta Sanctorum. This society, named for a 17th-century Flemish hagiographer, holds that most accounts of early Christian martyrdom were either heavily edited or made up.
ANSWER: Bollandist Society [or Societas Bollandistarum; or Société des Bollandistes]
