Afflinus, Bishop and Confessor, is recorded on this day in the Cologne Martyrology printed in the year of Christ 1480, in the Additions of the Cologne Carthusians to Usuard, published in the years of Christ 1515 and 1516, and likewise in the first edition of Molanus's Martyrology, in the German Martyrology, and in Ferrarius, who calls him Afflinius. We have discovered nothing further about him.

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.
