medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Not surprising. I think it's generally true that the ones we've heard of
are mostly universal saints with a few locals thrown in either because we
associate them with particular works of art or because they're on local
calendars we've experienced. But there are a _lot_ of locals. One of the
recurrent criticisms of the perceived Italian orientation of the modern
Roman Catholic Church is the frequent tagging of Baronius as the man who
opened the Roman Martyrology to the local saints of Italy (a situation
rectified in the purges of the twentieth century). As you may have
noticed, Italy is not poor in local saints. --JD
