medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture On Tuesday, August 29, 2006, at 6:09 pm, when writing about the church of Santa Sabina at San Benedetto dei Marsi (AQ) in Abruzzo, I copied an older inaccuracy that should have been caught but wasn't. A less misleading statement would be: Throughout the Middle Ages this was the cathedral church of the diocese of the Marsi (since 1986, diocese of Avezzano). It was the seat of St. Berard, bishop of the Marsi (d. 1130) and the first ecclesiastical home of his younger contemporary and biographer, John of Segni. Badly damaged in the conflict between the papacy and Frederick II, this Santa Sabina was rebuilt for the visit in 1287 of Honorius IV but was again in poor condition when the diocesan seat was transferred to Pescina late in the sixteenth century. Most of what remained was destroyed by the earthquake of 1915.
