Add January Matins readings for SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m5s

Starts the bulk-content pass complementary to the pre-1955 saints pass:
11 of January's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored (2 left unsourced —
their Nocturn 2/3 content is entirely octave homiletic material, no
proper vita text in either track). Most SanctiM files turn out to be
thin rule overrides pointing back at the same Sancti/ text; only
St. Maurus (Monastic-only, no Sancti file) needed direct SanctiM
sourcing, with an original translation for its missing English source.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Prisca, Virgin and Martyr (Jan 18,
# sharing the date with the Chair of St. Peter at Rome — see
# chair-of-st-peter-at-rome.yml). No SanctiM/01-18r*.txt at all (only
# the plain SanctiM/01-18.txt exists, and that one bases on Sancti/01-18,
# i.e. the Chair of St. Peter, not Prisca) — same "the shared plain
# file isn't necessarily yours" wrinkle as the pre-1955 pass (memory
# vu-matins-pre1955-saints); Prisca is in fact pre-1955-but-post-1617
# too, just missed in that earlier pass's date-collision handling.
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/01-18r.txt, English/Sancti/01-18r.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Prisca, nobilis virgo Romana, trédecim annos nata, Cláudio imperatóre, christianæ fidei
accusata, ejusdem jussu ducta ad Apóllinis templum, ut idolis immolaret, cum rem
detestarétur, cólaphis cæsa, in carcerem traditur: atque inde emissa, cum in fidei
constántia perseveraret, affecta verbéribus, ferventíque ádipe delibuta, rursus in
carcerem includitur. Post triduum in amphitheatrum producta, leoni objícitur; qui suæ
feritátis oblítus, humíliter se ad ejus pedes abjecit. Quæ póstea in ergastulo triduum
inedia afflicta, in equuleo suspénditur, et ungulis férreis excarnificáta in rogum
injícitur, unde étiam mirabíliter evasit incólumis. Dénique extra Urbem cápite abscisso,
virginitátis palmam martyrii coróna cumulávit. Cujus corpus via Ostiénsi, décimo ab Urbe
milliário, a Christiánis décimo quinto Kalendas Februarii sepelítur.

Prisca was a noble Roman maiden, who at thirteen years of age was accused of Christianity
before the Emperor Claudius. By his command she was taken to the temple of Apollo to
sacrifice there, and when she refused, was buffeted and sent to prison. She was taken out
from thence again, but as she still held steadfastly to the faith, they flogged her, poured
boiling tallow upon her, and sent her back a second time. She was at last thrown to a lion
in the amphitheatre, but it quietly lay down at her feet. She was starved for three days in
a slaves' prison house, and then tortured upon the rack. Pieces of flesh were next torn
from her body with iron hooks, and she was thrown on a burning pile. She marvellously still
remained alive, and was accordingly beheaded outside the city. Thus she added the crown of
martyrdom to the palm of virginity. The Christians buried her body at the tenth milestone
on the road from Rome to Ostia on the eighteenth of January.
