medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I just copied from last year's post, without thinking, the following:
> At some unknown time (but probably fairly early) S.'s remains were
> transported, it is thought, from their resting place at the
> Solfatara
> to a church at Misenum where they were venerated. Evidence for
> this is
> comparatively late and also suspect: John the Deacon's account (BHL
> 4135) of S.'s early tenth-century translation to Naples,
The evidence is much earlier than John the Deacon. The removal of
Soss(i)us' remains to a basilica at Misenum is already in Bede's
Martyrology, whence it got into Ado and Usuard. But it's still somewhat
suspect.
Best again,
John Dillon
