medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
L'irlandais saint Fintan de Taghmon (hypocoristique "Munna") est également
honoré en Bretagne. Il figure dans plusieurs anciennes litanies, notamment
celles d'un psautier breton du IX/Xe s. (Salisbury cath. 180)
Son culte semble avoir remplacé celui d'un saint breton local (Onna) à
Logonna-Daoulas, jadis prieuré de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de Daoulas, tenue par
des chanoines réguliers de saint Augustin.

>
> Fintan of Taghmon (d. c. 635) Fintan (Munnu) was an Irish monk who
> founded a monastery at Taghmon (Co. Wexford). F. lived an extremely
> penitential life, even by Irish standards, and was a vigorous defender of
> Irish customs against those interloping Romans
>
> John of Bridlington (d. 1379) John was born in Yorkshire, studied at
> Oxford, and became an Augustinian canon at Bridlington. He became prior
> in 1360. J. was famous for the holiness of his life and miracles were
> soon reported at his tomb. He was canonized in 1401 (the last medieval
> English saint to be so honored).
>
> James Strzemie (blessed) (d. 1409) James Strzemie (or Strepar) was a
> noble Pole who became a Franciscan. He joined a group doing missionary
> work in the Ukraine, became head of the Franciscan mission to western

> Agrigento. His cult was confirmed in 1767.
