IfMartyrology of S. Jerome [translator of the Bible into Latin (d. 420)], (so called), Usuardus [a 9th-century monk of Paris who compiled a list of saints for each day], Ado, Notker, Spanish and Roman Martyrologies. The genuine Acts have been wholly lost, though there is evidence of their having originally existed. A legend of S. Vincent is given by Salazar, but it is of no authority. 1 ] |PAIN honours several illustrious martyrs of the name of Vincent; Vincent, deacon of Saragossa, (Jan. 22nd); Vincent of Avila, (Oct 27th); Vincent who was martyred with Orontius and Victor, and whose body has been transported to Embrun, (Sept nth); and S. Vincent of Calahorra. This martyr is said to have suffered under Diocletian [Roman emperor 284–305, who began the ‘Great Persecution’ of Christians in 303]. If we may trust his legend, his feet were attached to a rope which was passed over a pulley, and he was drawn up and then 1 PRpebroeck the Bollandist says, M Such are the Acts, which no one knew anything of before, and no wonder, for they are from Tamayus, from whom many other untrustworthy things hare been introduced into the Spanish Marty rology, which we think proper to cut out of our work. It appears to be, from its style, a composition of this, or last century, which Tamayus without judgment admitted as old,” and he adds that these Acts are all guess work. Yet Guerin the editor of Giry’s Vies des Saints, gires this as genuine I dashed head foremost upon flints, and afterwards consumed in a great fire. He is venerated at Acqs-sur-Adour as the apostle of that part; on what authority it is impossible to say.
