ON SS. INGENUUS AND HIPPOLYTUS, MARTYRS IN THE ROMAN PORT,

FROM THE HIERONYMIAN TRANSCRIPTS.

Commentary

Ingenuus, M., in the Roman Port (S.)

Hippolytus, M., in the Roman Port (S.)

J. S.

In Florentini, in the Hieronymian Fasti, at this day two Martyrs are announced in these words: And in the Port of the city of Rome, the birthday of the holy Ingenuus and Epolitus (for Hippolytus). The Corbie codex agrees, praised there in the Annotations, in these words: In the Port of the city of Rome, the birthday of the holy Ingenuus and Hippolytus, martyrs. Likewise the Reichenau Martyrology, published among us after vol. VII of June, announces these two Martyrs, having thus: In the Roman Port, of Ingenuus and Yppolitus. There in the Augsburg and Labbe codices Ingenuus alone is mentioned, mingled out of order among the other Saints of this day, as likewise happens in the Gellone codex, published by d'Achery in vol. 2 of the reprinted Spicilegium. But in the Epternach, or most ancient, in Florentini in the Annotations, Hippolytus alone is mentioned in this manner: At Rome in the Port, of Hippolytus. Florentini in his annotations suspects that this Hippolytus is different from the other Hippolytus who also suffered in the Roman Port on another day, and of whom there has been treatment at the XXII of August; because today's Hippolytus has Ingenuus for a companion. To this opinion, as at least probable, I willingly acquiesce; but more about those Martyrs

I do not find.

Support the Translation

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through August are done, September 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.
