Any of you happens to know of saints (besides Jerome, of course)
with
a lion as an iconographical atribute?
There is of course St.Mark; then there are Sts. Adrian, Euphemia
and Thecla. Hall's Dictionary also mentions that lions helped to dig
the graves of Anthony the Great, Paul the Hermit, Onuphrius and
Mary of Egypt.
