ON SAINT TITIANUS

BISHOP OF LODI IN INSUBRIA.

A.D. CCCCLXXVII

[Commentary]

Titianus, Bishop of Lodi in Italy (S.)

D. P.

Of Saint Titianus the Life, whom Laus Pompeia,
a town midway between Milan and
Cremona on the way, in the year CCCCLXXV a Bishop
had, to posterity the devouring of monuments antiquity
begrudged: whatever survives, in the Catalogue
of the Saints of Italy collected in this kind
words Philip Ferrarius from the Lodi Church's tables: [The Acts by the age of times deleted:]

Titianus, by nation an Aleman, Bishop of Lodi,
S. Cyriacus in the Episcopate succeeded in the year after Christ
born CCCCLXXV, Simplicius supreme Pontiff,
Zeno of the East and Augustulus of the West Emperor.
He lived in the Episcopate (which holily and piously he
to have administered from this is clear, [the age and years of the Episcopate indicated from the tables of the Church of Lodi.] that into the of the Saint
Bishops number he is reported) two years only:
since in the year CCCCLXXVII on the Kalends of May to have departed
from an epitaph, which still exists at Lodi Vecchio,
appears. He died moreover the day, the year of age
the fifty-fifth completing. Whose body in
the church of S. Peter buried, where the epitaph of him is seen,
most recently by Bossius Bishop of Novara when the diocese
of Lodi he visited, into the cathedral church
was translated. These things he, whom follows in Italia sacra
volume 4 Ughelli. [a double translation of the body,] Francis Bossius from the Chair of Perugia
to the Novarian passed in the year MDLXXIX, and closed his day
in the year MDLXXXIV. Adds Ughelli, the Body again there
either found or re-dug in the year MDCXL, with solemn pomp and rite
under the principal of the temple altar to have been laid up, inscribed
on the marble this memory: The body of S. Titianus of Lodi
the Bishop, with some of the holy Innocents
Relics, under this altar was found, and again
laid up, a solemn translation premised, MDCXL
on the day VI of May. At Lodi the Prelate Clement Gera of Novara.
The feast, not on the Kalends of this month on which he died,
but on the day fourth is kept; and that lest with the first, which to the Apostles SS.
Philip and James sacred is, it should concur. Another from this is S.
Titianus Bishop of Oderzo: and is venerated on January XVI: [the cult.]
another the Brescian Bishop, reported on March III, of whose Life,
finding, miracles more to say we could have, if then to
hand to us had been a little book by John Bapt. Zannetti at Brescia
edited in the year 1618. A certain also Titianus a Bishop
is indicated on May XXIX, in the written Additions of the Charterhouse
of Brussels to Greven, but which of these is understood is not added.
