CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Januarius
St. Januarius is believed to have suffered in the persecution of Diocletian, c.
305. With regard to the history of his life and martyrdom, we know next to
nothing. The various collections of "Acts", though numerous (cf. Bibliotheca
Hagiographica Latina, n. 4115-4140), are all extremely late and untrustworthy.
Bede (c. 733) in his "Martyrologium" has epitomized the so-called "Acta
Bononiensia". [eng]
