Commentary

Stabilis, Bishop of Clermont in Gaul (St.)

St. Stabilis, the 38th Bishop of the Auvergne, or of Clermont, is honored on the Kalends of January, as testified by Ferrarius in his general catalogue of Saints, John Chenu in his Chronology of the Bishops of Gaul, Claudius Robert, and John Savaron in his Origins of Clermont. From an old manuscript ritual book of the Church of St. Illidius (or Allidius), the fourth Bishop of Clermont, Savaron teaches that he died on January 1, and that his feast was customarily celebrated in the same church of St. Illidius with an office of eight lessons, and the octave with four, as for a Confessor Bishop. He also brings forward another testimony about him from the documents of the Monastery of Mozac.
