| ID | Title | E04952 | 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 15 September. | E05936 | The Chronicle of Fredegar (4.54) describes how in 626 Godinus, son of the Mayor of the Palace Warnacharius, took refuge from the anger of King Chlothar II in the church of *Aper (bishop of Toul, ob. 6th c., S02195) in Toul (eastern Gaul). He is later forced to visit various churches, ostensibly to strengthen his fidelity to Chlothar by swearing oaths in them. Includes references to the burial churches of *Medard (bishop of Vermand buried at Soissons, ob. c. 560, S00168), *Denis/Dionysius (bishop and martyr of Paris, S00349), *Anianus (bishop of Orléans, ob. 454, S01206), and *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050). Written in Latin in Gaul/Francia, 659/700. | E06272 | The Latin Life of *Aper (bishop of Toul (north-east Gaul), 6th c., S02195) presents, in the form of a reading for his feast day, the bishop's life, death, burial in the church he had begun to build, and miracles, both in life and posthumous. Written at Toul, c. 595/800. |
