Dear colleagues,

I have become interested in how Saint Genevieve's role as a healer got imported into certain commentaries on the Sentences of Peter Lombard. This crops up in the mid thirteenth century commentaries available to me & then disappears in the mid fourteenth, again in those available to me in print. The location is Book IV Distinction 23 on Extreme Unction. The saint used a blessed oil in her cures & exorcisms. What I would like to find is any thirteenth century sermons which might mention anointing by the saint. Schneyer's Repertorium, at least in the version I have been using, does not index saints' feasts. I did find a reference to a sermon by Stephen of Tournai in the twelfth century & one thanking the saint for delivery of Paris from a flood. Any other clues would be most welcome.
