November, of Byzantine origin, was propagated in Rome in the 1370s
by Philippe de Méziére; it did not, however, spread widely before it
was promulgated a universal feast by Pope Sixtus IV (1471-84).
In the Auctaria, Greven alone is cited for the feast of 26
November with the following entry: Festum illationis beatæ Mariæ
Virginis in Templum Iherosolymis, seu purificationis S. Annce, die
scilicet LXXX a partu ipsius (PL 124, p. 740). In the calendar of
Cologne it appears for the first time in 1482 (Cologne, p. 154, 21
November). The most recent saint’s feast is that of 19/11 Elyzabeth
uidue, canonized in 1235, and celebrated throughout Germany.
The martyrological entries of this calendar are also chiefly derived
from Usuard; 3/10 Candidi m. appears for the first time in Usuard.
Some of its post-Usuardian entries are represented in AM 249b fol.,
others are proper to our calendar, as 28/9 Wenceslai m., king of
Bohemia ( t 932), found in nearly all the German calendars.
11/10 Justi Arthemii et Honeste v„ martyrs of the diocese of
Amiens, appear together in the early eleventh-century calendar of Pa-
derborn;12 all three are also found in the Colbaz calendar c. 1150.
Two calendars of Cologne from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries,
respectively, have Justi et Artemii. Among the late-medieval diocesan
calendars, that of Osnabriick enters the three saints; that of Paderbom
Justi et Artemii, that of Bremen Justi alone. The three martyrs also
figure in the Auctaria (PL 124, p. 566).
17/10 Maximini m. defies identification, unless he should be
identical with Maximi m., quoted in the Auctaria (PL 124, p. 589).
20/10 Quirini m. appears in the late-medieval calendars of Utrecht
and Toul; cf. Quirinipb. m., quoted in the Auctaria (PL 124, p. 600).
24/10 Felicis et Vitalis is an interesting entry. Usuard has Felix
with four companions, but Vitalis is not mentioned. Our entry reflects
another form of the legend of the African martyr Felix of Thibiuca
than that known to Usuard.13 The Utrecht calendar has Felicis ep. et
al. m.; the same entry is also in two calendars of Cologne from the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
4/11 Modeste v., abbess of Trier, the friend of St. Gertrude, appears
in the calendars of Trier and Utrecht. She is also entered in the Col-
