I wasn't able to determine this by glancing through the dreaded CE on line. The Big Four were probably never "formally canonized" either. I had it in my head that the first "formally canonized" saint was produced sometime in the 10th or 11th c. In fact Saint Bruno springs to mind. But that may be the mind's fault.

Peter Damian studied law, then >went and became a monk at Fonte Avellana, where he soon became prior >and founded several other communities.

PD worked to suppress local liturgies, organized the >Camaldolese order, reacted against secular learning (grammar, by the >way, is the work of the devil), advocated a desert spirituality, etc. >He is perhaps the most accessible figure of the eleventh century, >since we have (in the modern editions) four large volumes of his >letters and treatises, a volume of sermons, and several >hagiographical works. PD was never canonized but was declared a >doctor of the church in 1828. > >********************************************************************** >To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME >to: [log in to unmask] >To send a message to the list, address it to: >[log in to unmask] >To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion >to: [log in to unmask] >In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: >[log in to unmask] >For further information, visit our web site: >http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html > >********************************************************************** >To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME >to: [log in to unmask] >To send a message to the list, address it to: >[log in to unmask] >To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion >to: [log in to unmask] >In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: >[log in to unmask] >For further information, visit our web site: >http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
