Juliana

ON ST. JULIANUS THE MARTYR.

From the MS. Synaxaria of the Greeks.

Juliana, Martyr (St.)

G. H.

The already cited MS. Dijon one also celebrates this holy Martyr on the day XVIII May; with these few words: St. Julianus, dragged in the thorns of a bramble, ended his life by martyrdom, & is added this distich.

Ἰουλιανὸς ἆθλον ἑυρε τὴν βάτον, Τιμῶν Θεοῦ σαρκωσὶν, οὗ ἧ τύπος βάτος.

Julianus bore a reward from the bramble, Who was a type of the incarnate Word.

The same St. Julianus the Martyr, but without an elogium, mention on this XVIII the Turin Menaea of the Duke of Savoy with a MS. Greek Synaxarium. The Milan ones similarly of the Ambrosian Library name the same, but on the preceding day.
