| ID | Title | E01910 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Adventor, Octavius and Solutor (martyrs of Turin, S01116) narrates the escape to northern Italy of these martyrs, from the massacre of the Theban legion at Acaunus (Agaune); their own martyrdoms (at Turin and Ivrea) and burial at Turin; and the building of an oratory and later a basilica over their graves. Written presumably in Turin or Ivrea (both northern Italy), probably in the 6th c. | E03249 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Secundus (martyr of Victimulae and Turin, S02500) narrates Secundus’ travel to Italy with a legion, his trial and death witnessed by the future martyr *Mauritius (commander of the Theban legion, S00339), who holds vigils at his body on the site of martyrdom in Victimulae (close to Turin, northern Italy); the theft of the body which is brought to Turin and buried next to the river Dora, where miracles abound. Additional account about visitors to the oratory of *Mary (mother of Christ, S00033) in Turin taking dust and scraps from the tomb of Iuliana, who buried the saint *Solutor and his companions (martyrs of Turin, S01116). Written presumably in Turin, at an uncertain date, by the early 9th c. at the latest. | E05005 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 1 November. | E05016 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 11 November. | E05025 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 20 November. | E05322 | Maximus of Turin preaches a sermon (Sermon 12) for the feast of *Adventor, Octavius and Solutor (martyrs of Turin, S01116), in which he explains why the people of Turin should especially venerate the martyrs of their own city. Delivered in Latin in Turin (northern Italy), between c. 397 and 408/423. | E08315 | 35 relic labels at Sens (northern Gaul), datable by their script to the 7th or 8th c., for relics of a great diversity of saints.
