medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Today (7. March) is the feast day of:
1) Perpetua and Felicity (d. 203 ?). P. and F., those now famous martyrs
of Roman Africa, have an early dossier consisting of 1) a Passio that exists
in Latin and in Greek versions (BHL 6633; BHG 1482) whose relation one to
another is still a little controversial and 2) a separate set of Acta that
exist in Latin only but in two versions of which the first has multiple
forms: the A-Acta (form 1: BHL 6634; form 2: BHL 6635) and the B-Acta (BHL
6636). Neither the Passio nor the briefer Acta are precisely dated, though
the Passio, at least, is of the third century. ....
Best,
John Dillon

There is also an extremely nice rose named 'Felicite et Perpetue' (sorry,
can't do the accents). Large and bushy with lovely delicately scented white
double flowers. Not, according to Graham Stuart Thomas, to be confused
with the rose 'Seven Sisters'.
