CONCERNING ST. MAGNUS THE MARTYR.

Commentary

Magnus, Martyr (St.)

The Roman Martyrology: "On the same day, of St. Magnus the Martyr." Bellinus of Padua, Francis Maurolycus, Peter Galesinius, and others have the same. I have found nothing further about him.

Support the Translation

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.

The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
