13 of December's 15 SanctiM-track saints authored (st-bibiana, st-nicholas, st-ambrose, immaculate-conception, st-damasus, st-lucy, st-thomas-apostle, st-stephen-protomartyr, st-john-apostle, holy-innocents, st-thomas-becket, st-silvester-i, st-eusebius-of-vercelli); st-barbara and st-melchiades left unauthored as Common-only. This is the twelfth and final month of the SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints' Matins readings pass — 129 saints authored across the whole year. Adding St. Eusebius of Vercelli's content surfaces a 3rd Matins lesson on the existing Advent III Tuesday proof date (Dec 15 falls under his commemoration); updated matins.test.ts accordingly — the "commemorations get their own reading" design working as intended, not a regression.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Bibiana, Virgin, Martyr (Dec 2) —
|
||||
# SanctiM/12-02.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/12-02`) with no
|
||||
# Nocturn 2 override, so this feast's own proper content is sourced
|
||||
# from the Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see
|
||||
# memory vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
|
||||
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/12-02.txt, English/Sancti/12-02.txt.
|
||||
# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita, no
|
||||
# genuine source break.

Bibiana virgo Romana, nobili genere nata, christiana fide nobilior fuit. Ejus enim
|
||||
pater Flavianus sub Juliano Apostata impiissimo tyranno expræfectus, servilibusque
|
||||
notis compunctus, ad aquas Taurinas deportatus, martyr occubuit. Mater Dafrosa, et
|
||||
filiæ primum conclusæ domi, ut inedia conficerentur; mox relegata mater extra Urbem
|
||||
capite plexa est. Mortuis autem piis parentibus, Bibiana cum sorore sua Demetria bonis
|
||||
omnibus exspoliatur; Apronianus Urbis prætor, pecuniis inhians, sorores persequitur;
|
||||
quas humana prorsus ope destitutas, Deo mirabiliter, qui dat escam esurientibus,
|
||||
enutriente, cum vivaciores vegetioresque conspexisset, vehementer est admiratus.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Suadet nihilominus Apronianus, ut venerentur deos Gentium, amissas ideo opes,
|
||||
imperatoris gratiam, præclarissimas nuptias consecuturæ. Si secus fecerint, minatur
|
||||
carceres, virgas, secures. At illæ neque blanditiis, neque minis a recta fide
|
||||
declinantes, paratæ potius mori, quam fœdari moribus ethnicorum, prætoris impietatem
|
||||
constantissime detestantur. Quare Demetria ob oculos Bibianæ repente corruens, obiit
|
||||
in Domino: Bibiana Rufinæ mulieri vaferrimæ seducenda traditur, quæ ab incunabulis
|
||||
edocta, christianas leges, et illibatum servare virginitatis florem, se ipsa fortior
|
||||
feminæ superavit insidias, et prætoris astus delusit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Nihil autem proficiente Rufina, quæ, præter dolosa verba, illam quotidie verberibus
|
||||
affligebat, ut de sancto proposito dimoveret, spe sua frustratus prætor, accensus ira,
|
||||
quod in Bibiana perdidisset operam, a lictoribus eam denudari, vinctisque manibus
|
||||
columnæ alligari, eamque plumbatis cædi jubet, donec efflaret animam. Cujus sacrum
|
||||
corpus objectum canibus biduo jacuit in foro Tauri, illæsum tamen, et divinitus
|
||||
servatum; quod deínde Joannes presbyter sepelivit noctu juxta sepulcrum sororis et
|
||||
matris ad palatium Licinianum, ubi usque in præsens exstat ecclesia Deo, sanctæ
|
||||
Bibianæ nomine, dicata, quam Urbanus octavus instauravit, sanctarum Bibianæ,
|
||||
Demetriæ, et Dafrosæ corporibus in ea repertis, et sub ara maxima collocatis.

|

Bibiana was a Roman maiden, distinguished on account of the nobility of her family,
|
||||
but now far more distinguished for her confession of Christ. In the reign of the foul
|
||||
tyrant, Julian the Apostate, her father Flavian, although he was an ex-Praefect, was
|
||||
branded as a slave and banished to Acquapendente, not far from Rome, where he soon
|
||||
died a martyr for his faith. His wife, Dafrosa, and his two daughters, Bibiana and
|
||||
Demetria, were first imprisoned in their own house, with the idea of starving them to
|
||||
death; but the mother was afterwards taken outside the city and beheaded. Bibiana and
|
||||
her sister Demetria, after the death of their holy parents, were stripped of all they
|
||||
had in the world. Apronianus, Praetor of the city, who hankered after their property,
|
||||
continued to persecute them, but although they were destitute of all human support,
|
||||
God, Who giveth bread to the hungry, fed them, and kept them in health, life, and
|
||||
strength, to the wonder of their enemies.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Apronianus then attacked them, to make them worship the gods of the Gentiles, and
|
||||
promised them the restoration of their property, the favour of the Emperor, and a
|
||||
great marriage for each of them, if they would give way, and, on the other hand,
|
||||
imprisonment, stripes, and death. But neither promises nor threats availed, for they
|
||||
remained firm in the faith, being resolved rather to die than to pollute themselves by
|
||||
doing according to the deeds of the heathen; and, as for the iniquity of the Praetor,
|
||||
they loathed it continually. At length the strength of Demetria gave way, and she fell
|
||||
down suddenly, and died in the Lord, before the eyes of her sister Bibiana. Then
|
||||
Bibiana was put into the hands of an artful woman named Rufina, to seduce her if
|
||||
possible; but she had known the law of Christ from her childhood, and kept the lily of
|
||||
her purity undefiled, triumphing over the efforts of that vile person, and
|
||||
disappointing the lust of the Praetor.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Then, when Rufina saw that her false words availed not, she took to blows, and
|
||||
scourged Bibiana daily, but the saint was not staggered in her holy resolution. At
|
||||
last the Praetor, mad with baffled lust, when he found his labour was thrown away,
|
||||
ordered his lictors to strip her naked, hang her up by the hands to a pillar, and flog
|
||||
her to death with whips weighted with lead. When all was over, her sacred body was
|
||||
thrown out for the dogs to eat. It lay two days in the Forum Tauri, but the animals
|
||||
would not touch it; and, at last, a Priest, named John, took it, and buried it by
|
||||
night beside the graves of her mother and sister, near the Licinian Palace. This is the
|
||||
place where there is still a church, dedicated in the name of St. Bibiana. When this
|
||||
church was being restored by Urban VIII., the bodies of these three holy women,
|
||||
Bibiana, Demetria, and Dafrosa, were found, and were re-buried under the High Altar.
