medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dans l'hagiographie bretonne (et celtique) la multiplicité des "saints"
homonymes pose souvent problème aux chercheurs. Ainsi l'exemple de saint
Budoc. En Bretagne continentale son nom semble revêtir plusieurs formes
(complètes ou hypocoristiques). Le calendrier léonard (Angers BM 477) daté
de 897 par un calcul de comput, porte au 31 octobre un saint BUDCAT qui
pourrait être une forme "locale" du nom de Budoc. Dans le Missel de
Saint-Vougay (XIème s.) il est mentionné dans les litanies sous une forme
complète : BUDMAIL (cf. le BOTHMAIL de la vie de saint Maudez), comme le nom
de CADOC a donné la forme complète CADMAEL.
