Add November Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
Deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m8s

14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All
Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast
with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available
English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St.
Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out
Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Menna, Martyr (Nov 11, sharing the
# date with St. Martin of Tours — see st-martin-of-tours.yml). No
# genuine SanctiM match: the only SanctiM file for this date bases
# `@Sancti/11-11` (Martin, not Menna) — a missed pre-1955-pool
# candidate rather than a genuine SanctiM case (see memory
# vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/11-11cc.txt, English/Sancti/11-11cc.txt.
# Single lesson (simplex-feast Lectio93), one continuous account, no
# responsory given in the source.

Mennas Ægýptius, christiánus miles, in persecutióne Diocletiáni et Maximiáni
imperatórum, cum pœniténtiæ causa in solitúdinem secessísset, natáli die
imperatórum, quo pópulus célebri spectáculo tenebátur, in theátrum prosíliens,
líbera voce Gentílium superstitiónem insectabátur. Quam ob rem comprehénsus, et,
Pyrrho prǽside, in metrópoli Cottiénsium Phrýgiæ vinctus, loris crudéliter cœditur.
Deínde, equúleo tortus, lampádibus ardéntibus ad corpus admótis plagísque cilício
confricátis, tum per tríbulos et virgas férreas mánibus ac pédibus colligátis
tractus, plumbátis étiam contúsus, demum gládio interfícitur in ignémque conjícitur.
Corpus, inde a Christiánis eréptum, sepúltum est ac póstea Constantinópolim
translátum.

Mennas was a Christian Egyptian soldier who had withdrawn himself into a desert place
to do penance, but one day, during the persecution under the Emperors Diocletian and
Maximian, upon the said Emperors' birthday, when the people were gathered together at
a great show, stood forth in the theatre, and reviled with a loud voice the idolatries
of the Gentiles. Thereupon he was arrested, and being bound at Cotyasus, the chief city
of Phrygia, under the authority of the President Pyrrhus, was first savagely lashed
with thongs, then racked, then scarified with fire applied to his naked body, then had
his wounds lacerated by rubbing with hair-cloth, then dragged through thorns and iron
spikes with hands and feet tied, then lashed again with whips loaded with lead, and
lastly slain with the sword, and thrown into a fire. The Christians saved his body
thence and buried it, and it hath in after times been carried to Constantinople.
