abb.; 2/7 Suuithuni cf; 17/7 Kenelmi regis et m.; and 20/11
Edmundi regis et m. The English source of our compiler did not yet
include the nearly universal feast of St. Thofnas of Canterbury,
canonized in 1173.
In the twelfth century 8/12, Conceptio Sancte Marie v., does not
necessarily imply English influence; the entry also appears in the
Colbaz calendar, written in Lund c. 1150.
Our compiler included all the Norwegian saints: 11/1 Brictive v.
(see ON, p. 302n); 15/5 Haluuardi m.; 8/7 Sanctorum in Selio; 29/7
(after Felicis, etc.) Atque Olaui regis et m., preceded by a vigil; 3/8
(after Inventio Stephani soc.) Atque Olaui, the feast of his translation.
Besides, the Danish national saint was included: 10/7 (after Septem
fratrum) Et S anet i C anu ti regis et m.
Two entries stand out as particularly interesting.
11/2 Castrensis ep. of the Hieronymian Martyrology, the African
saint who was celebrated in South Italy, also appears in St. Willi-
brord’s calendar9 and in the Echtemach sacramentary, MS Paris lat.
9433. He is seldom found in post-Caroline sources. Among the early
English calendars he appears only, on 12 February, in the eleventh-
century martyrological calendar from Wessex, MS Cotton Nero A.II,
as Castrensis m.10
11/5 Maioli abb., of Cluny, t 994, canonized 1093, as a rule
appears only in Cluniac or Benedictine sources. A calendar from
Nidarholm close to Nidaros, a Cluniac abbey founded in the early
twelfth century, may have fumished this entry together with those of
the Norwegian saints.
The entry of Sancte Pusinne virginis, 23 April, does not entitle us
to assign the basic German calendar of AM 249b fol. to Herford. It
could also have come from within the restricted sphere of Herford’s
influence. As it stands, however, our calendar reflects the various
trends which made themselves felt in Iceland in the twelfth century, -
German, English, Danish, Norwegian. The same trends can be
observed at work in the Vallentuna calendar of the Uppsala region,
written c. 1200" (while the Colbaz calendar of Lund c. 1150 attaches
