"Ars Quatcor Coronatorum."*
According to the "Breviarum secundum consuetudinem domus Hospitalis Hierosolymitanus Sancti Johaimis , Spirse , " 1495 , the bodies were raised after five days and secretly interred in the Via Lavitana by St . Sebastian . In the "Breviarum Ultrajectense . Venet ., " 1497 , we find the Legend much the same as in the " Brev . Romanum , " but considerably more briefly narrated . Lampadius executes the five martyrs and dies suddenly . Forty days
afterwards Nioodemus raises the coffins and buries them in his house . Then follows :- — LECTIO II . Eleven months afterwards Diocletian ordered a temple to be erected to Asclepius in the Thermis Trnjaiii , and a statue of the god to be made of Proconnesian stone . As all the people were commanded to sacrifice , there were present several tribunes ( cornicularii ) . When their opposition was made known to the Emperor Diocletian , he ordered them to be slain with leaden scourges before the statue of the god . After they had been scourged for a long time they gave up the ghost .
The third and last Lectio agrees with the 6 th of the "Brev . Spirense . " According to the "Legenda Sanctorum Jacobi de Voraigne , " 1470 , Severus , Severiamis , Carpophorus , and Victoriaiuis were scourged to death , but their offence is not stated . Two years afterwards ( so also in the "Brev . Orel . Hierosob , " 1495 ) , about the year 287 , the five other Christians were executed because they would not consent to sacrifice to the gods . The leaden coffins were thrown
into the sea , and not again recovered . The Pope Melchiades ordered that they should be designated as the four crowned martyrs , their names not being then , known , and althoug h , subsequently revealed , yet the custom was retained of denoting the five personages as the " Vier Gekronten " or " quatuor coronati . " The precise date of their martyrdom is specified in the " Modus orandi secundum ecclesiam Herbipolensem , " 1450 , which states that "These holy
martyrs suffered for the name of God , in the year 287 , on the Sth November ( sexto ydtts Novembris ) . The reader will observe that there is much confusion in the breviaries concerning this Legend , two separate groups of personages and 'two distinct occurrences being curiously confounded . It is probable that there actually was a historical basis for the original Legend , and that this Legend was subsequently elaborated , aud perhaps confounded with others .
