CONCERNING ST. MARINUS, ABBOT OF LERINS.

Commentary

Marinus, Abbot of Lerins (St.)

From manuscripts.

St. Marinus, Priest and Abbot of Lerins, is recorded on this day by Vincent Barrali of Salerno in the Lerins Chronology. Mention of him is made in the Life of St. Eugendus above: the author of which, a disciple of St. Eugendus himself, testifies that at the command of St. Marinus he compiled the institutions of the Monastery of Agaunum. The Jura monks are said to venerate him with religious memory and devotion. I have found nothing else about him elsewhere.
