Martyrologium Hieronymianum

The Martyrologium Hieronymianum is preserved in a number of early manuscripts which share much in common, but also diverge, making it impossible to reconstruct from them a single authoritative text. Below, we therefore offer separate English translations of each important early manuscript. By clicking 'Latin Text' (above), you can view these different versions in their original Latin, set side-by-side for ease of comparison, with also the editions and interpretations of the text suggested by the scholars Quentin and Delehaye. For a full discussion of the Martyrologium, click 'Discussion/Bibliography.'


The
Martyrologium Hieronymianum commemorates on 10 July the following feasts:


*Felicitas, martyr of Rome, with her sons, buried on the via Salaria (S00525),
*Rufina and Secunda, virgins and martyrs of Silva Candida at the tenth milestone from Rome on the via Cornelia (S00814),
*Victoria, Anatolia and Audax, martyrs of Picenum in central Italy (S01406),
*Markianos, martyr of Tomis (S01042),
*Other saints, on 11 July in the Martyrologium Hieronymianum: in Africa, Armenia Minor, Rome, Alexandria, and Poitiers (S03056),
*Diodotos and Rodopianos, martyrs of Aphrodisias (S01012),
*Apollonius, martyr of Sardis, Lydia (S03057),
*Prosdoke, Bernike and Domnina, mother and two daughters, martyrs of Antioch (S01008),
*Nabor and Felix, soldiers and martyrs, buried in Milan (S00609),
Perhaps
*Nabor, deacon of Africa, martyred by Donatists (S01931),
Possibly
*Getulius and Companions, martyrs of the via Salaria near Farfa (S02462).
*Forty-five martyrs of Nikopolis, martyrs in Armenia under Licinius (S01778).

The Martyrologium Hieronymianum ('Martyrology of Jerome'), is the oldest extensive martyrology of the Latin West, listing the feast days of the saints for the entire calendar year, generally also specifying where their feasts are held (which is normally their place of burial). It derives its name from prefatory letters copied at the start of the martyrology, which attribute the text to the Church Father, Jerome of Stridon (ob. 420). These letters are present in all the earliest manuscripts, but it is uncertain when they were first attached to the text. The Hieronymianum is the primary source of all later martyrologies of the Latin world.

It is universally accepted that the attribution to Jerome, intended to give the text greater authority, is false, and the predominant scholarly view is that the first version of the martyrology was compiled in northern Italy during the 5th century (probably in Aquileia), though no manuscript of this Aquileian redaction has survived. The text was then evidently revised and added to in Gaul, probably in Burgundy, around AD 600. The north Italian origin of the text, and its Gallic revision, are deduced from the presence in the martyrology of saints from northern Italy, and then of saints from Frankish Gaul. This Gallic version (sometimes referred to as the recensio gallica), just like its north Italian predecessor, does not survive in its original form in any manuscript (Lifshitz 2006, 14).

At some point in the 7th century, and no later than the early 8th, the
Martyrologium reached Northumbria (in northern Britain), where it underwent some further revision and additions (Lapidge 2005, 45-46). From Northumbria, the text returned to the continent in the 8th century, and it is here that the earliest surviving manuscript copies were made, as listed below (Lapidge 2005, 73).

Some of the sources that were used by the compilers of the
Martyrologium in northern Italy, and subsequently in Gaul, can be identified: the so-called Chronography of 354, a mid-4th-century list from Rome of saintly commemorations, primarily of local martyrs (E010151 and E01052); a lost Greek martyrology compiled at Nicomedia around 360 (drawn basically from Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History and Martyrs of Palestine), which was also a prime source for the Syriac Martyrology of 411 (E00465); the African Calendar of Carthage of 505/535 (E02195 - E02205); and early local calendars from Aquileia and Auxerre (Lifshitz 2006, 20).

The four earliest manuscripts of the
Martyrologium Hieronymianum (three of them complete, one a fragment), on which all editions, including our own, are based, are all from eastern Francia and were copied in the eighth and early ninth centuries. They are as follows:

Ms Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), lat. 10837
Written in the abbey of Echternach (in present-day Luxembourg) by a single scribe, Laurentius, between 703 and 710 (Lifshitz 2006, 32). The Catalogue of the BnF, which publishes BnF lat. 10837 on-line, also provides brief information about the dating: https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b6001113z/f22.image (click Information). The text of the Hieronymianum is at fol. 2r-32v.

Ms Wolfenbüttel, Herzog August Bibliothek, Weissenburg 81
From the abbey of Weissenburg in Alsace. Dated to around 800 by the Wolfenbüttel on-line catalogue: http://diglib.hab.de/?db=mss&list=ms&id=81-weiss&lang=en. Lifshitz argues that the manuscript dates from around 772, and was written in the Carolingian royal sphere, in or around Maastrict (Lifshitz 2006, 4). The text of the Hieronymianum is at fol. 7r-103r.

Ms Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Bongars 289
From the abbey of Saint-Avold, near Metz. De Rossi and Duchesne, in the introduction to their edition, argue that Bern 289 must have been written after 766. The text of the Hieronymianum is at fol. 53v-129v. This manuscript is not yet available on line, but we have been able to check it through a microfilm.

Ms Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Pal. lat. 238
From the abbey of Lorsch, near Worms. The manuscript contains only a fragment (five pages) of the
Hieronymianum, covering 25 December to 3 January, and 27 January to 31 January, written in Lorsch in the first half of the 9th century: http://bibliotheca-laureshamensis-digital.de/bav/bav_pal_lat_238). The fragment is at fol. 74-75, 1-2.

The standard edition of 1894, by G. B. de Rossi and L. Duchesne, published these four manuscripts in parallel columns. In 1931, H. Quentin produced a new edition, with a commentary by H. Delehaye, which attempted to collate the different manuscript readings into a single text.

Even though all the early manuscripts are believed to descend from the same redaction, they are by no means identical. In particular, BnF lat. 10837, the earliest of all, often contains a text which differs markedly from Bern 289 and Weissenburg 81, which are much closer to each other. Because the text varies between manuscripts, in content as well as spelling, it is now universally agreed that it will never be possible to create an 'authoritative' single text of the
Martyrologium Hieronymianum. De Rossi and Duchesne in 1894, facing the same problem, decided to print for each day of the year the text of all four early manuscripts, in four columns, and we have followed their lead. Our edition is essentially based on their edition, though we have checked their readings against the manuscripts, and corrected or removed some letters, words, diacritical marks, and comments introduced by the editors that do not exist in the manuscripts. We have then added three more columns: for Quentin’s text for the feast day, which sometimes comes in one version, sometimes in two, and for Delehaye’s reconstruction of much of the text, drawn from his Commentary. Delehaye's erudition was, and remains, unmatched, and we have leaned heavily on his commentary (which is in Latin), but it should be noted that his reconstructed text often departs markedly from the manuscripts. Using his extraordinary knowledge of the saints and their hagiography, he felt able to combine different parts of the Hieronymianum's text, and to correct garbled versions of names, to produce a more coherent 'original'. We consider each of his principal suggestions in our Discussion (below), and attempt a judgment as to how plausible they are. In Delehaye's extensive notes there are also other, more tentative, suggestions, which we have not discussed systematically.

The reason the
Martyrologium Hieronymianum is such a difficult text is because it consists primarily of long lists of names (with no punctuation and no consistency in the use of capital letters), which were often unfamiliar to copyists and so easily garbled. Generally, we cannot get behind these garbled variants, but occasionally we can, allowing us to shed light on how the text evolved into its current, often confused, state. For instance, an entry for 9 March (E04711) probably originally read something like 'In Armenia minore Sebastia milit(um) XL', 'In Lesser Armenia, at Sebasteia, [the feast of] the Forty Soldiers' - in other words a commemoration of the 'Forty Martyrs of Sebaste' (S00103), prominent saints in the East, but less well-known in the Latin West. In one of our manuscripts (Weissenburg 81) this has become 'In arminia minore sabastiani et milia XL', 'In Lesser Armenia, [the feast of] Sebastianus and the forty-thousand'; somewhere in the process of transmission, the city of Sebasteia has become the martyr Sebastianus, and the 'soldiers' (militum) have become 'thousands' (milia).


Discussion

The early manuscripts of the Martyrologium Hieronymianum record on 10 July the commemoration of the following saints in Rome: Philipus/Philippus/Phylippus, Felix, Maximus, Silanus/Siluanus, Ianuarus/Ianuarius, Rufina, Secunda, Felicitas, Safinus, Anatholia, Victoria, Vitalis, Marcialis, Praetextatus/Pretextatus, Ianuarius. Several of them could be identified as *Felicitas, (martyr of Rome, with her sons, buried on the via Salaria, S00525). Her sons are known to be Felix, Philippus, Vitalis, Martialis, Alexander, Silanus and Ianuarius. Rufina and Secunda among these could be identified as *Rufina and Secunda, virgins and martyrs of Silva Candida at the 10th milestone from Rome on the via Cornelia (S00814).

Further, the manuscripts Bern 289 and Weissenburg 81 record the commemoration of a saint Victorius/Victuria, supposedly at a place in Anatolia. However, Anatolia could be the name of another saint, while the group could be identified as *Victoria, Anatolia and Audax, (martyrs of Picenum in central Italy, S01406). These saints have their commemoration on 9 July according to Bede`s
Martyrology (E05577).

All three manuscripts record the commemoration in Tomis of the saints Marcianus, Domnus, Diomedus/Tromedus, Iohannes, Sisinnus/Sesinus, Aurelianus/Aurilianus, and Emilianus. Among them, Delehaye identifies *Markianos, (martyr of Tomis, S01042), who is commemorated on 5 June in the
Syriac Martyrology (E01508). The rest of the names appear among *Other saints, on 11 July in the Martyrologium Hieronymianum: in Africa, Armenia Minor, Rome, Alexandria, and Poitiers, (S03056).

Among the saints in Alexandria, there is a large number of names: Leontius, Mauricius, Mellitus, Helicus, Orio, Antoninus, Zasomus, Custarus, Acelleus, Danelus, Corionus, Antoninus, Gasonus/Zesonus, Eustasus, Octavius/Octavianus, Anicetus/Citus, Theodorus/Theudorus, Crisus/Chrysus, Candedus, Gorgonus, Archeleus/Archelaus, Cyrinus, Eofrodisus/Eufrodisus, Galanus, Auticus, Azerus, Atheneus, Gagus, Sisionas, Auxentius, Valentinus, Drodotus/Droditus, Faustasus, Aurelus, Gorgodianus/Corgodianus, Cyrionus, Corrolus/Currolus, Nostinus, Sisinnus/Sesinna, Castricus, and Apollonus. These saints are unidentified; their part appears among *Other saints, on 11 July in the
Martyrologium Hieronymianum: in Africa, Armenia Minor, Rome, Alexandria, and Poitiers, (S03056).

The name Eofrodisus/Eufrodisus among these saints is interpreted by Delehaye as the city of Aphrodisias, while he identifies the saints Drodotus/Droditus and Gorgodianus/Corgodianus as *Diodotos and Rodopianos (martyrs of Aphrodisias, S01012). The saint Apollonius could be, according to Delehaye, *Apollonius, (martyr of Sardis, Lydia, S03057), and also according to the
Synaxarium of Constantinople.

The saints commemorated in Antioch on this day according to the early manuscripts are: Maximus, Rodigus, Veronia/Vironicia/Vironicus, Domnina/Domninus, Maxima, Diogines/Diogenes, Macharus, Timotheus/Thimotheus, Zaccheus/Zacheus, and Isucus/Ysicus. Delehaye identifies a few of them as *Prosdoke, Bernike and Domnina (mother and two daughters, martyrs of Antioch, S01008). The other saints are not identified.

Also, a number of saints are commemorated in Africa: Ianuaria/Ianuarius, Marinus/Marina, Nabor, Felix, Primitiganus, Ganivus. Some of them are unproblematic to identify, according to Delehaye, such as
*Nabor and Felix, (soldiers and martyrs, buried in Milan, S00609). Yet, the former saint, considering that he is commemorated in Africa, may also be *Nabor, (deacon of Africa, martyred by Donatists, S01931). The saints Marinus/Marina and Ianuaria/Ianuarius are again recognised among *Other saints, on 11 July in the Martyrologium Hieronymianum: in Africa, Armenia Minor, Rome, Alexandria, and Poitiers (S03056).

Primitiganus, a possible name of the saint in BnF 10837, turns into the name of a place in Bern 289. Also, the section of the text in relation to these two names, as well as the further entry, supposedly related to the via Praenestina, remains unclear. Delehaye develops an idea that these are the saints Ganivus and Primitivus, who could be, according to the entry E03225, the characters appearing in the
Martyrdom of Getulius (BHL 3524), *Getulius and Companions (martyrs of the via Salaria near Farfa, S02462). We consider this identification possible.

Finally, the manuscripts record on this date the commemoration of the following saints in Armenia Minor (today Turkey): Milio, Decomedes/Diomedes, Anthonus/Antonus, Theolus/Theodolus, Cessus, Gagianus, Cliricus/Clicirius, Sisanna/Sisinnus/Sisinna, Negdanus/Necdonus/Negdonus, Theotus/Theodotus, Cirillus/Cyrillus, and Anicetus/Anicitus. They are identified as
*Forty-five martyrs of Nikopolis, (martyrs in Armenia under Licinius, S01778).
