G. H.

In the fourth place these holy Martyrs set forth the ancient copies of the Hieronymian Martyrology, and with these words almost: "In Sardinia of Salutianus, Eutricus the Bishop, Crescentinus, Ticianus, Quintus, Sciabilus." The same has the old codex of the Queen of Sweden, and from it Holstenius in his Animadversions to the Roman Martyrology. In place of Salucianus is also written Salutianus and Salustianus, and for Eutricus is held in the Epternac one Eutropius: but he perhaps on the occasion of S. Eutropius, Bishop of Orange, of whom below, is there thus inserted. In the same Epternac one is then placed the word "elsewhere," which in the other copies and codex of the Queen of Sweden is missing. In place of Crescentinus and Ticianus is also written Criscentinus and Titianus or Tychianus: and for Sciabilus, also Stiabilus and Stabulus, who is missing in the said Epternac. In the Mss. Casino and Roman of Duke Altempsius these are had: "In Sardinia SS. Eutricus the Bishop, Crescentius, Martianus." But this seems to be Martialis among the Martyrs at Tomi referred above. With place of contest omitted Eutricus the Bishop is in the Mss. Barberini, and Trier of S. Maximinus. In the Augsburg Ms. of S. Ulrich are indicated the names of Salvatianus, Eutricus, Quintus, Stabilus. The same are in the Paris Ms. of Labbé, but the first name is more correctly written Salutianus or Salustianus from the Aachen Ms. Quintus is referred in the Auctary of Greven, and in Galesinius, but mixed with others, as above is indicated. In the Calendar of a most ancient Ms. Breviary, whose use was for the parts of the Rhine, is also the memory of S. Salustianus the Martyr.

Support the Translation

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.

The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
