medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Thanks, Phyllis. I can't imagine that anyone expects that you're doing primary-source research when you distil notices for your very valuable and welcome "column". Obviously, you're at the mercy of your sources. The Delaney (published by Doubleday, I see) is new to me; I'll have to have a look at its disclaimers, etc. I did just now find it treated as authoritative at AmericanCatholic.org: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/Christmas/faqs.asp#stnicholas Fulbert, who (like many) is silent about his origins, doesn't seem to be of quite as many Wherevers yet as Honorius "of Autun", whose Augustodunum has been variously identified in the wake of demonstrations that Autun itself has little to commend it in this regard. But he's in the same league. And, of course, deservedly prominent.
