medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Please forgive the lateness of this response; I'm fighting off jet lag by catching up with accumulated mail. According to his quite fictional Passio (BHL 8711-16), Vitus of 15. June and of the disease named after him was aged all of seven when his persecution began and will not have been much older when he suffered martyrdom under Diocletian. All we know about him historically is that a person of this name is recorded in the pseudo-Hieronymian Martyrology as having perished in Lucania on 15. June.
