medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
In the folium from the Sarum breviary that I'm looking at -- or, as Sherry has taught us: 'from *A* Sarum breviary that I'm looking at' -- there is a short remnant (Lectio 1, and half of Lectio 2) of the entry for 'In natali sanctorum ffabiani et sebastiani', which makes me wonder about something generic.
Here we have a feast bearing the names of two different saints, who lived in different times and places. However, all I think there is here (unless there's a change later in the text) is a narrative concerning Sebastian; poor Fabian is textually left in the cold. My question is: do we find vitae or readings for such feasts that cut-and-paste extracts from the vitae of these same saints, singly considered, into one composite vitae that covers the two of them?
Thanks for any experiences you may have in this.
Best wishes, George
(BTW, I haven't made it to a Procter and Wordsworth-bearing library yet, so I've not yet been able to check what passes for a transcription.)

Use this instead, ignoring its identification of the pope as Gregory the Great (the Italian-language Wikipedia article on this church <http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_di_San_Pietro_%28Benna%29> gets it right):
