medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Many thanks. Just what I needed. An Ostentation will do just as well as a
Translation in my footnote! And it's nice to get it right!

There's nothing in the _AA.SS._ to support the notion of the relics of
Donatian and Rogation having been translated to Nantes in 1145. For the
misunderstanding involved, see the early modern references discussed here
(what seems to have occurred was merely an ostension in the cathedral):
http://www.infobretagne.com/donatien-rogatien.htm
The bishop of Ostia in question, referred to in older French-language
treatments under the name of Albert, is better known to modern scholarship
as Alberic, cardinal bishop of Ostia (d. 1148). See (e.g.):
http://www2.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios1138.htm
also, the biographical references in Ryan Freeburn, _Hugh of Amiens and the
Twelfth-Century Renaissance_ (Ashgate, 2011), p. 147, n. 1.
