There is no mention of it. The "new" RM (2001, rev. 2004) in its listings for 13. January has this (I omit the stress marks):
"4. Remis item in Belgica, depositio sancti Remigii, episcopi, qui post Clodoveum regem sacro baptismatis fonti et fidei sacramentis initiatum, Francorum gentem ad Christum convertit et, annis ultra sexaginta in episcopatu exactis, sanctitate conspicuus e vita decessit."
It is not clear why one should now expect the RM to refer to the translation when the feast celebrating it on 1. October was dropped from the general Roman Calendar in the changes approved in 1969 and is now restricted to particular calendars only.
Note the suppression of _miraculorum gloria_ in the "new" version.
Best again,
John Dillon
