ON SAINT FAUSTUS, MARTYR AT ROME.
From Martyrologies, written and printed at Florence.
UNDER JULIAN.
CommentaryFaustus Martyr at Rome (S.)
G. H.
Among the many other Martyrologies of various Churches, which we have collected, we found at Florence two Mss. the one in the Laurentian
Library of the Grand Duke of Medici, on parchment written; the other in the Library of the most Illustrious Carlo Strozzi, Florentine Senator; in which also was preserved a Martyrology printed at Florence in the year MCCCCLXXXVI by Francesco de Bonacursis the Presbyter: & from these three Martyrologies, on this ninth day of June, these things found we have described: At Rome the passion of S. Faustus the Martyr, who under Julian the Emperor suffered. Whose sacred memory since there, & without doubt in other churches also, has been read; even in this work it comes to be referred, that opportunity may be given to others of further promoting his veneration, if perhaps his Relics have been in veneration or even a church erected.
