With this end of glorification in view the hagiographer is prepared to swallow everything and record anything.

It is pathetic that he should use this occasion to be the hagiographer of John Charles McQuaid.

Modern critical methods were undreamed of in the days of our hagiographer, who wrote, moreover, for edification only in a credulous age.

That number would probably not include Anne Edwards who, despite occasional efforts at critical objectivity, falls pretty much into the category of slavish hagiographer.

The hagiographers of Decies retort for their patron by a claim of yet another miracle and so on.

This is not to say that IMRO was monolithic or that Delcev was an Apostle (as some of his hagiographers would have him).
