Reply-To: | | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 14 Nov 1999 21:21:18 +0000606_us-ascii On behalf of a friend of mine (who is writing a Ph D thesis on a Portuguese medieval chronicle), I would like to ask everybody the following question: does anyone know something (oral informations, articles, books...) on Saint Vincent of Zaragoza -or Saragossa- (the History of his cult, folk traditions related to him, etc.)? This saint was born in Saragossa, Spain, during the Roman era. Hagiographies tell he became a martyr in Valencia: he was put the stone wheel of a mill around the neck and thrown into the sea.
