ON SAINT TITIANUS

BISHOP OF LODI IN INSUBRIA.

A.D. CCCCLXXVII

Titianus, Bishop of Lodi in Italy (S.)

D. P.

Of Saint Titianus the Life, whom Laus Pompeia, a town midway between Milan and Cremona on the way, in the year CCCCLXXV a Bishop had, to posterity the devouring of monuments antiquity begrudged: whatever survives, in the Catalogue of the Saints of Italy collected in this kind words Philip Ferrarius from the Lodi Church's tables: The Acts by the age of times deleted:

Titianus, by nation an Aleman, Bishop of Lodi, S. Cyriacus in the Episcopate succeeded in the year after Christ born CCCCLXXV, Simplicius supreme Pontiff, Zeno of the East and Augustulus of the West Emperor. He lived in the Episcopate (which holily and piously he to have administered from this is clear, [the age and years of the Episcopate indicated from the tables of the Church of Lodi.] that into the of the Saint Bishops number he is reported) two years only: since in the year CCCCLXXVII on the Kalends of May to have departed from an epitaph, which still exists at Lodi Vecchio, appears. He died moreover the day, the year of age the fifty-fifth completing. Whose body in the church of S. Peter buried, where the epitaph of him is seen, most recently by Bossius Bishop of Novara when the diocese of Lodi he visited, into the cathedral church was translated. These things he, whom follows in Italia sacra volume 4 Ughelli. a double translation of the body, Francis Bossius from the Chair of Perugia to the Novarian passed in the year MDLXXIX, and closed his day in the year MDLXXXIV. Adds Ughelli, the Body again there either found or re-dug in the year MDCXL, with solemn pomp and rite under the principal of the temple altar to have been laid up, inscribed on the marble this memory: The body of S. Titianus of Lodi the Bishop, with some of the holy Innocents Relics, under this altar was found, and again laid up, a solemn translation premised, MDCXL on the day VI of May. At Lodi the Prelate Clement Gera of Novara. The feast, not on the Kalends of this month on which he died, but on the day fourth is kept; and that lest with the first, which to the Apostles SS. Philip and James sacred is, it should concur. Another from this is S. Titianus Bishop of Oderzo: and is venerated on January XVI: the cult. another the Brescian Bishop, reported on March III, of whose Life, finding, miracles more to say we could have, if then to hand to us had been a little book by John Bapt. Zannetti at Brescia edited in the year 1618. A certain also Titianus a Bishop is indicated on May XXIX, in the written Additions of the Charterhouse of Brussels to Greven, but which of these is understood is not added.
