medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier (2010) 'Saints of the day' for 27. November (including Sts. Facundus and Primitivus; St. Laverius; St. Jacob of Beth Lapat [a.k.a. James the Persian, James the Sawn-Asunder, James the Sliced, James the Mangled]; St. Siffredus; St. Virgilius of Salzburg; St. Apollinaris, abbot of Montecassino):

Further to Facundus and Primitivus:
In that earlier post's notice of these saints, the link to a page with eight views of their abbey at Sahagún now takes one to a page with five such views (now at top left; a sixth view ends the selection on the preceding page).
In the same notice, the second and third links to views, etc. of the iglesia de San Facundo y San Primitivo at Silió (Cantabria) no longer function. Use this instead:

In the same notice, the link to views of ermita de San Facundo at Barrios de la Bureba (Burgos) likewise no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to Laverius:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to an account in 2009 of the discovery of what has been interpreted as perhaps having been his ancient martyrium no longer functions. According to this illustrated announcement from the Parco nazionale dell'Appennino Lucano, the sarcophagus touted as perhaps that of Laverius himself was unearthed in 2006:

In that earlier post's notice of this saint, in the second paragraph for 'a sarcophagus said to be C.'s' please read 'a sarcophagus said to be E.'s'. The link to a view of that object (perched above a rather later altar) no longer functions. Use these instead:

In the same notice, the link to a view or views of the frieze on the chevet of the abbatiale Notre-Dame-la-Blanche portraying scenes of Eusicius no longer functions. Expandable views of these start near the end of the set of thumbnails here:

In the same notice, the link to a view of the spoliated columns in the lower portion of the same church's facade likewise no longer functions. Use this instead:
