| ID | Title | E03243 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Alexander (bishop and martyr of Baccano, S01533) narrates the miracles and conversions effected by Alexander, his trial, death and burial in a furnace where he had been tortured. An inscription is put on the tomb, miracles happen, and later a church is built over it. The text also narrates the trial, death and burial of a convert named Herculanus. Written presumably in Baccano (north-west Italy), at an uncertain date, by the 8th c. at the latest. |
