| ID | Title | E03233 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Sabinus and Companions (martyrs of Assisi and Spoleto, S01878) narrates the miraculous healings and conversions effected by Sabinus, bishop of Assisi (central Italy); the trial and martyrdom in Assisi of the deacons Marcellus and Exuperantius, the converted persecutor Venustianus and his family, and bishop Sabinus; Sabinus, unlike the others, is buried at Spoleto (also central Italy), where miracles occur. Written presumably in Spoleto, at an uncertain date, by the mid 9th c. at the latest. | E05044 | 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 7 December. | E06046 | Mosaics in the nave of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna (northern Italy) depicting twenty-two female saints, preceded by the three Magi, processing towards the Virgin and Child, and twenty-six male saints, probably originally preceded by *Stephen (the First Martyr, S00030), processing towards Christ; created under Bishop Agnellus, 557/564. | E06390 | Gregory the Great in two papal letters (Register 9.58 and 9.59), both of 598, first authorises the bishop of Fermo to consecrate an oratory dedicated to *Sabinus (bishop and martyr of Spoleto, S01878) in Fermo, and then requests the bishop of Spoleto to send contact relics (sanctuaria) of the saint from Spoleto; all in central Italy. Written in Latin in Rome. |
