Resumo

Because of his duties, the jesuit Héribert Rosweyde (1569-1629) died without beginning the edition of the most ambitious hagiographic project to date. Jean Bolland (1596-1665), who was also a member of the Society of Jesus, was commissioned to start the publication of the books. This is why “Acta Sanctorum”, a collection of works launched from 1643 to 1940, exists. After Jean Bolland’s death, the project was assumed by his collaborators and successors, called “the Bollandists”.In spite of the significance of this venture, the Order of the Brothers of Our Lady of Mount Carmel denounced to the Inquisition not only some volumes of the “Acta Sanctorum”, but also its authors. They were all condemned because of their supposed heretical propositions.This paper tries to explain the course of conflict between Carmelites and Jesuits from 1691 to 1715. And this was a dispute in which the Holly Office was involved in some different ways.
