In that same set, at item j) for 'repainted in 1569' please read 'carefully repainted in 1569'.
A few other instances:
John Chrysostom as depicted (center roundel in the arch soffit at right, above St. Michael's right wing; below, Sts. Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa) in the mid-twelfth-century mosaics of the basilica di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio (a.k.a. chiesa della Martorana) in Palermo:

Clearly, there were some in later medieval France who didn't get the memo about John's standard portraiture.
Further to Maurilius of Angers:
For a discussion of Maurilius of Angers' medieval cult in England, see this page by Graham Jones:

http://tinyurl.com/45hqhs
Two views of a fresco in Angers' cathedral showing Maurilius' return to Angers from his self-imposed exile (an episode in his expanded Vitae):

That fresco is one of a series on M. in the choir of the cathedral. Further views of these begin here (pages courtesy of Graham Jones):
