Hagiographic works, especially those of the Middle Ages, can incorporate a record of institutional and local history, and evidence of popular cults, customs, and traditions.[7] However, when referring to modern, non-ecclesiastical works, the term hagiography is often used as a pejorative reference to biographies and histories whose authors are perceived to be uncritical of or reverential toward their subject. The genre of lives of the saints first came into being in the Roman Empire as legends about Christian martyrs were recorded. The Bollandist Society continues the study, academic assembly, appraisal and publication of materials relating to the lives of Christian saints. Traditional Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church hagiography in Ge'ez language is known as the Gadl (Saint's Life).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7614.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7614.txt
