medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

John Dillon wrote:

Today (2. November) is the feast day of:

Justus of Trieste (d. ca. 304, supposedly).  ......  his cult is exclusively
or almost exclusively Tergestine and, it is said, not attested documentarily
before 1040. ...

There exist two documents, the first one could be false, for 911 and 948 AD,
published by local historian P. Kandler in Codice Diplomatico Istriano
(Scrinium Adriae: http://140.105.55.157/cgi-bin/sa/baseweb_main).

The martyrium and the cult of S. Giusto are discussed by R. Brato¾ in: Il
cristianesimo aquileiese prima di Costantino, Udine 1999. Matej
