The Hieronyviian Martyrology
is a cento of divers martyrologies and calendars,
some as early as the 4th century. It seems to have been compiled at the beginning
of the 7th century, but has been interpolated in the eighth (see De Rossi Rom. Sotterr.
II. p. X sq).
The Old Roman Martyrology seems to have been drawn up in the 8th
century, and was the source of the later martyrologies, Ado and the rest. It is a
much less important document than the Hieronymian (see De Rossi li. p. xxvii sq).
