medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Andre-Yves, My intent in passing on the information from the "Santi Beati" site was not to endorse the latter's brief entry but rather to point you in the direction of scholarly literature concerning the Alda celebrated at Meaux. "Santi Beati" entries are often derived directly from those in the _Bibliotheca Sanctorum_ and thus often have a learned background worth considering, even if the underlying argumentation turns out to be less than persuasive. In this case the entry's source is that in the _BS_ (vol. 1, cols. 735-36; Alfonso M. Zimmermann, "Alda, vergine, santa"). Zimmermann says that the Alda of the Proprium of Meaux, 18 October, is clearly to be identified with Aldegonde of Maubeuge, whose translation was commemorated there on the same day (for this commemoration at Maubeuge, cf. Carnandet's ed. novissima of the _Acta Sanctorum_, Oct. tom. 8, p. 272, citing a "nona lectio" for this month in the Maubeuge propers). Before dismissing out of hand this argument based on similarity of names and identity of dates one might first find out whether 18 October has been correctly cited both for the celebration of Alda at Meaux and for a translation (vel sim.) of Aldegonde at Maubeuge. Out of curiosity, what sustains your view that Aude (Alda) celebrated at Paris is identical with the Alda celebrated at Meaux?
