medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 26. January (including Sts. Timothy and Titus; Theagenes of Hippo; Paula of Rome; Athanasius of Sorrento; Alberic of Cīteaux; and Eystein of Nidaros):

Further to Timothy:
In that earlier post's notice of Timothy, add after the view of Timothy's head reliquary at Termoli this detail view showing a portion of bone:
http://tinyurl.com/6t7tnz4
In the same notice, the link to the second Italian-language account of Termoli's cathedral no longer functions. Substitute this account for it:
http://www.prolocotermoli.com/cattedrale.html
In the same notice, the second link to a view of the cathedral's facade no longer functions. Add these views:
Facade (angle shot also showing one flank):

A section view of the cathedral from the same flank:

Tympanum of the main portal (the sculpture portrayed the Presentation of the BVM in the Temple):

The interior, looking toward sanctuary:

Further to Titus:
Add this closer view of Titus' skull reliquary in Heraklion / Iraklio:
http://tinyurl.com/7arhfv9
Add this view of Titus as depicted in a fresco said to be of 1327 and located not very helpfully in an "old church on Crete" (Ag. Nikolaos at Maza and Ag. Michail at Kavalariana, both in Chania prefecture, are possibilities):

Further to Paula of Rome:
Add this expandable view of Paula (second from left) and Eustochium in a boat as depicted in a late thirteenth-century copy of French origin of the _Legenda aurea_ (San Marino, CA, Huntington Library, ms. HM 3027, fol. 27v):

Further to Athanasius of Sorrento:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, change the first sentence to read:
This less well known saint of the Regno is one of the five principal patron saints of Sorrento (Antoninus, Renatus, Athanasius, Baculus, and Valerius) whose appearances to terrify the enemy and to encourage the participation of the laggard Neapolitans are said in the Vita of St. Antoninus of Sorrento (BHL 582; later ninth- or tenth-century) to have been instrumental in a victory by a combined fleet of the duchies of Gaeta, Naples, and Sorrento over Muslim raiders who had seized the island of Ischia (perhaps in 849).
Further to Eystein of Nidaros:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the English-language account of Trondheim's Nidaros cathedral no longer functions. Substitute these English-language accounts (the first of these is from Sacred Destinations):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidaros_Cathedral
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidaros_Cathedral_West_Front
In the same post, add this expandable view of a late fourteenth-century walrus ivory crozier head of Norwegian origin and now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, portraying king St. Olaf on one side and, on the other (this is the side shown here), a bishop whom the V&A cautiously says "probably represents St Augustine" without further indicating whether the Augustine in question were he of Hippo or he of Nidaros:

In view of his promotion of Olaf's cult, Augustine / Eystein of Nidaros would be a good guess.
Best,
John Dillon
