Our primary source was an “about the author” article in volume 1 of Butler’s Lives of the Saints, written by his nephew, Charles. This link also points to volume 1 of Butler’s Lives of the Saints. Archive.org has all 12 volumes available, from an edition from 1866.

This site shows the Benzinger Brothers’ abridged edition from 1894.
