ON SS. MENGENES, GAJANUS, JOVINUS

MARTYRS AT EPHESUS IN ASIA.

Commentary

Mengenes, Martyr at Ephesus in Asia (S.)

Gajanus, Martyr at Ephesus in Asia (S.)

Iduinus, Martyr at Ephesus in Asia (S.)

G. H.

Three Martyrs of the city of Ephesus report four apographs of the Martyrology of Jerome: also Notker with MS. of Trier of S. Maximinus & another of the Queen of Sweden by Holstenius praised, with some variety however. For for Ephesus is read in MS. Echternach Efera, & for Mengenis, in the codex of the Queen of Sweden is Mingenis, in Notker Miogenis. In place of Gajanus is in MSS. of Corbie printed at Paris & Blume Gajoni, & in the Lucca Guioni: in the same three is also Juvini, in others Jovini. In another Corbie not yet printed is celebrated the memory, in the city of Ephesus of Mengenes & Gajoni. In MSS. of Reichenau & Rheinau Gajanus & Jovinus at Ephesus. In MS. Augsburg of S. Vdalricus & Gellonensian is the name Mengenus the Martyr, for which in MS. of Paris of Labbe is read Megethus. In MS. of Tamlachta are the names of Gajanus, & Jovenus. Again on XIV June are reported SS. Miggenes, Gallianus, Juvinus Martyrs at Ephesus, as there will be said.

Support the Translation

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.
