And the oldest extant image of St. Peter Martyr
http://nauplion.net/petermartyr.html
A small -- nearly invisible unless you are on a ladder -- carving of St
P-M made in the 1260s for the church of the Dominican House of Negroponte.
http://www.arts.cornell.edu/dendro/2004News/ADP2004.html [halfway down
the page] for dating of the construction. Pierre MacKay is giving a
paper on this at the upcoming medieval colloquium at Sewanee.

> 4) Peter Martyr (Peter of Verona; d. 1252). The Dominican P. was an effective preacher and a tireless inquisitor in northern Italy. He was ambushed and murdered by enemies who lodged a harvesting blade of some form in his skull. His cult was virtually immediate and he was canonized in 1253. P.'s tomb is in Milan's church of Sant'Eustorgio. Created in 1335-39 by Giovanni di Balduccio, it has moved around a bit but now is housed in the church's Cappella Portinari:

> Verona's largest "gothic" church is the formerly Dominican pile popularly known as Sant'Anastasia after the dedication of a predecessor on this site. Begun in the late thirteenth century, it has been dedicated to P. since 1307. Completed (except for the facade) in the fifteenth century, it was restored in 1878-81.
