Talk:St Aprus of Toul

Trier
Are there any reliable (historical) sources for the birth place "Trier"? Warriors and churchmen in the High Middle Ages: essays presented to Karl Leyser on page 57 only mentions Troyes where Aprus' sister's relics where located. Historical sources like Baronius, Butler, Stadler etc. or modern encyclopedias like Bautz did not mention Trier (or „Trèves). Any hint? Thanks.

 * Note that the source given by Leyser is the "Miracula Sancti Apri", a hagiographical document with a high POV number, not a historical source. --Vicedomino (talk) 17:56, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, my source for this was Our Sunday Visitor's encyclopedia of saints by Matthew Bunson,Margaret Bunson,Stephen Bunson, page 117. --Polylerus (talk) 20:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)


 * No reference given there. No way to check reliability of statement. Source seems to be devotional POV Roman Catholic, not historical. --Vicedomino (talk) 17:52, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

All the sources, good bad and indifferent, are given in:

There may be a mistake somewhere, as far as Trier is concerned. The Acta Sanctorum, p. 61C, speaks of his native town as Augusta Trecorum (Treguier), not Augusta Treverorum or Treverensis (Trier) --Vicedomino (talk) 18:18, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
