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.

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.
