Erasmus

ON SAINT ERASMUS,

AMONG THE GREEKS.

From the Dijon manuscript Synaxarium.

Erasmus, among the Greeks (Saint)

G. H.

The Dijon manuscript Synaxarium already praised has, on this same 18th of June, thus: On the same day the holy Erasmus is perfected in peace. On the same day Saint Erasmus rested in peace; and these verses are added, in which there is an allusion to the name of Erasmus, which sounds "Amiable":

Dying Erasmus says, "I am sweetly at ease, For to me death is a thing to be loved erasmion."

Dying, Erasmus says, "It is sweet for me: For to me it has always seemed amiable, to die."
