medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Herewith a link to an earlier 'Saints of the day' for 26. April (including St. Anacletus [or Cletus], pope; St. Basil of Amasea; St. Trudpert; St. Riquier; St. Paschasius Radbertus; Sts. William and Peregrine, venerated at Foggia; Sts. Dominic and Gregory, venerated 'at Besians'; St. Stephen of Perm):

Further to Anacletus (or Cletus):
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the view of the unidentified seated figure ('Il Sedente') on the facade of the cathedral of Ruvo di Puglia who has been thought to be this saint no longer functions. Use this instead:

This figure's manner of dress makes it unlikely that he's a pope. On another view he's whatever dignitary was the civic patron of the cathedral's rebuilding in the twelfth century.
Further to Trudpert:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the links to the exhibition at the Hermitage and to a view of thirteenth-century altar vessels from the monastery of Sankt Trudpert no longer function. For the altar vessels, use this instead:

Further to Riquier (Richarius):
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link to the first view of the abbatiale Saint-Riquier in Saint-Riquier (Somme) no longer functions. Use this instead:

Further to William and Peregrine, venerated at Foggia:
There is now a page at Italia nell'Arte Medievale on the cathedral of Foggia:

Today (26. April) is also the feast day of:
Primitivus of Rome (?). This saint is entered under today in the earliest witness of the (pseudo-)Hieronymian Martyrology as a martyr of the Via Praenestina at the thirteenth milestone from Rome; further information about him is lacking. He is presumably the Primitivus to whom was dedicated a church at the former Gabii on the Via Praenestina at what would have been about the correct distance from Rome. The church was still standing in the earlier twelfth century (it and its pertinences were the object of a legal dispute in 1148 between Santa Prassede in Rome and the abbey of Grottaferrata); now it is a ruin. As some of its brickwork has been dated to the second century, this structure will originally have served some other purpose and only later have been converted to a Christian church. Herewith some views of what's left of the chiesa di San Primo (seemingly a hypocorism for Primitivo) or Primitivo at Gabii:

The Primitivus of that church at Gabii is one of the companions of St. Getulius in the latter's legendary and synthesizing early medieval Passio (BHL 3524, 3525; originally sixth- to eighth-century) and was commemorated with him under 10. June in the ninth-century martyrologies of St. Ado of Vienne and Usuard of Saint-Germain as well as in the RM prior to its revision of 2001.
