martyrology
A martyrology is a catalogue or list of martyrs and other saints and beati arranged in the calendar order of their anniversaries or feasts. Local martyrologies record exclusively the custom of a particular Church. Local lists were enriched by names borrowed from neighbouring churches. Consolidation occurred, by the combination of several local martyrologies, with or without borrowings from literary sources.
Martyrologium Hieronymianum
5th-century Christian text
Martyrology of Tallaght
8th- or 9th-century Irish martyrology
Martyrology of Usuard
9th-century martyrology
