CommentaryMiggenes, Martyr, at Ephesus in Asia (St.)

Juvinus or Vivinus, Martyr, at Ephesus in Asia (St.)
G. H.
After St. Antheon, three other Ephesian Martyrs are set forth in the older Echternach copy of the Hieronymian Martyrology, The names of the Martyrs. in these words: "And at Ephesus, of Miggenes, Gallianus, Juvinus." Which plainly the same are read in the Aachen manuscript of the chief church. In the Florentine manuscript of the Medicean Library these are thus expressed: "At Ephesus, Sts. Magginus, Gallinus, and Vivinus": but "Viviani" is read in the Florentine manuscript of Senator Strozzi. The Florentine one of the monastery of Santa Croce, of the Conventual Fathers of St. Francis, thus sets them forth: "At Ephesus, Sts. Migginus, Gallianus, and Vivinus," namely with the first letters transposed from "Juvinus" related above. The Reichenau manuscript has these: "And at Ephesus, of Mingenus and Gallianus." But the names of Galanus and Jovinus are also mentioned by Greven in the Additions to Usuard; as also Galanus, but ascribed to the Africans, in the Brussels manuscript of St. Gudula.

Mengenes, Gajanus, Whether others on the 16th of May are from these. and Jovinus, Martyrs at Ephesus, and perhaps the same who are here set forth: which we leave to be judged by the reader until the Supplement of May, when we shall again consider whether it is worthwhile to place them twice in this work, for the sole diversity of day and the slight diversity of writing.
