  • Appendix 1: Translation of the Vita Barbatiani
    APPENDIX 1: TRANSLATION OF THE VITA BARBATIANI This translation is based predominantly on the 1909 edition of Lanzoni; however, a few alternative readings from the manuscripts have been used and sections have been renumbered. Here begin the deeds of St. Barbatianus, the Presbyter and Confessor 1 1. I think it only proper, as I embark upon this story of miracles, fi rst to explain in which localities of the imperial cities the wonderful struggle of the saints took place. That way, the miracles which occupy the beginning of the narrative might inspire faith in what will be related subsequently, because a great people and a great and mighty city proclaim that they truly happened. Now, when Zosimus, Pope of the city of Rome, had by God’s will ceased to hold the episcopate [upon his death], there was confl ict among the clergy over the apostolic see, and they chose two bishops, one named Boniface and the other Eulalius. 2 They ordained Boniface in the basilica of Constantine. The empress Galla Placidia with her son, the emperor Valentinian, hearing this while they were staying in Ravenna, brought the news to the emperor Honorius who had remained in Milan. The two emperors sent a warrant ordering that both men should leave the city, so that both (popes) left the city of Rome. After they had been expelled, the holy day of Easter approached. Then Eulalius with daring boldness came into the city © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 155 E.M.

This article examines the complex interaction of these relics with pre-existing social and political processes in the region and locally, but also explores other aspects of the text which have been less discussed, notably its manuscript transmission and the insights it offers into structures of religious organization. Finally, it argues that the way issues treated together in the letter tend to be separated or even opposed in the historiography points to the need for renewed, critically reflexive attention to the specificities of the Carolingian Church reforms. Keywords: relics; parish; Dijon; Carolingian Church Strange happenings in Dijon In the middle of the ninth century, the bones of an unknown saint, carried from Italy by travelling monks, were brought inside the church of St-Bénigne in Dijon, Burgundy.

  • Daily Saints - 20 July
    Daily Saints - 20 July Feast of St. Apollinaris of Ravenna. He is the patron against epilepsy and against gout He is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. Saint Peter sent Apollinaris to Ravenna, Italy, as its first bishop. St. Apollinaris was one of the first great martyrs of the church. The miracles he conducted in Ravenna soon attracted official attention, for, they and his preaching won many converts to the faith. However, at the same time, his words and works brought upon the fury of the pagan people who beat Apollinaris cruelly on several occasions and drove him from the city. He returned, however, and was exiled a second time. After preaching in the area surrounding Ravenna, he entered the city again. After being cruelly tortured, During one beating, Apollinaris was cut with knives, and scalding hot water poured over his wounds, then put on a ship to be sent to Greece. In Greece the same course of preachings, and miracles, sufferings continued. In fact, after a cruel beating by Greek pagans, Pagans there caused him to be expelled to Italy, where he went to Ravenna for a fourth time. He died from wounds received during a savage beating at Classis, a suburb of Ravenna. When Emperor Vespasian issued a decree of banishment against the Christians, Apollinaris was kept hidden for some time, but as he was leaving, passing through the gates of the city, he was attacked and savagely beaten. He lived for seven days, foretelling that the persecutions would increase, but that the Church would ultimately triumph.
