Latin source: Heiligenlexikon
St. Aeduus, an otherwise unknown bishop recorded only in the manuscript Martyrology of St. Jerome. No further biographical details survive, and the Bollandists note he should not be confused with any Bishop of Autun.

ON ST. AEDUUS, BISHOP.

Commentary

Aeduus, Bishop (St.)

Bishop Aeduus, unknown to the other Martyrologies that we have seen, was brought to our attention by the manuscript Martyrology of St. Jerome. We have discovered nothing further about him. For there is no reason to suspect that he might be some Bishop of the Aedui whose proper name was omitted, nor is any Bishop of Autun mentioned on this day in any Martyrology.
