Saint Susanna
Susanna of Rome (fl. 3rd century) was a Christian martyr of the Diocletianic Persecution. Her existing hagiography, written between about 450 and 500, is of no historical value and the relations it attributes to Susanna are entirely fictitious.Michael Lapidge, ''The Roman Martyrs: Introduction, Translations, and Commentary'' (Oxford University Press, 2018), pp. 270–71. It is probable that a real martyr named Susanna lies behind the literary invention.Basil Watkins, ''The Book of Saints: A Comprehensive Biographical Dictionary'', 8th rev. ed. (Bloomsbury, 2016), p. 696.According to David Hugh Farmer, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Saints'', 5th rev. ed. (Oxford University Press, 2011), s.v. "Tiburtius and Susanna", her legend was written around an actual entry in a martyrology.

She has no connection to Saint Tiburtius, who is commemorated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
