E04899The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 31 July.
E05909The Latin Life of *Aunarius/Aunacharius (bishop of Auxerre, ob. 605, S02173) presents the saint as an ideal bishop and miracle-worker, both in life and from the grave; Aunacharius was ordained at the tomb of *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050), and buried near that of *Germanus (bishop of Auxerre, ob. c. 448, S00455). Someone needing healing was advised in a dream by *Lupus (probably Lupus of Troyes, S00418), to seek it from Aunacharius. Written at Auxerre (central Gaul), in the early 7th century.
E05966The Latin Life of *Aunarius/Aunacharius (bishop of Auxerre, ob. 605, S02173) tells how an abbot suffering from a contraction of the feet was healed by Aunacharius' shoes, following a dream vision of a St *Lupus (probably the bishop of Troyes, ob. 479, S00418). Written at Auxerre (central Gaul), probably in the early 7th century.
