THE ORIGINS OF THE VAMPIRE
75

The bones of the Saint being transferred to the new fane Apollo’s oracle ceased. When Julian the Apostate consulted his pagan god no answer was received. The Holy Relics of S. Babylas in after years were carried to Cremona. His feast on 24th January; by the Greeks 4th September.

  • 83  Ephraim of Antioch succeeded Euphrasius as Patriach, 527. He distinguished himself as one of the defenders of the Faith of Chalcedon (451) against the Monophysites. Most of his writings are lost. He died in 545.
  • 84  First edited by Frouton du Duc in Auctarium biblioth. patrum, II, 1057-1159, Paris, 1624. Cotelier issued a superior text in Ecclesiae Græcæ Monumenta, II, Paris, 1681; and this has been reprinted by Migne, Patres Graeci, lxxxvii, III, 2851-3112; who in the Patres Latini, lxxiv, 121-240, also reprints the Latin version of Blessed Ambrogio Traversari, first published at Venice, 1475; at Vicenza 1479.

  • 95  The English Martyrologies commemorate S. Melor on 3rd January, though he was killed on 1st October, under which date he is mentioned by Usuardus, a monk of St. Germain-des-Prés, who died in 876. The best edition of Usuardus is that of Solerius, Antwerp, 1714-1717. The feast of S. Melor is 3rd October, possibly because S. Rémi is 1st October. Although I have given the old English legend it is probably that S. Melor belonged to Brittany, not Cornwall. “L’évêque de Cornouaille” (in Brittany) is referred to as “tuteur dévoué de Saint Mélar.” The shrine of S. Melor is at Lanmeur, some ten miles from Morlaix. He is buried in the crypt of this church, and here is venerated his statue. There can be no doubt that important Relics of the Saint were given to Amesbury, and in Les Vies des Saints de la Bretagne we read: “Plusiers reliques de Saint Mélor passerent à differentis Eglises qui les demandèrent; Orleans, Meaux (chez les chanoines réguliers de Notre Dame de Châyes), Ambresbury en Angleterre (dans un Monastère de religieuses), etc. There is an old fresco of S. Melor on a pillar of Amesbury Church. I am indebted to the Vicar of Amesbury for this item of information. See A Pilgrimage to the Shrine of S. Melor.

The room, now converted into a chapel, where the miracle took place is on the second floor of Palazzo Massimo. Under the date 16th March is the Diario Romano we have the entry: “Nella chiesa entro il palazzo Massimo col quale il santo fece ritornare in vita Paolo Massimo (1583).

  • 100  His life was written by S. Gregory of Tours. The date of his death is uncertain. Galesinius says 524, which must be incorrect. Some Gallican
