Add July Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
13 of July's 18 SanctiM-track saints authored (5 left unsourced,
Common-only). Discovered the Monastic calendar keeps a full Octave of
St. Benedict (Jul 11-18), which explains several dates' SanctiM files
not matching their expected saint. Also hit a translation-misalignment
bug on St. Bonaventure's English source (paragraph boundaries don't
line up with the Latin), worked around with an original translation.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Alexius, Confessor (Jul 17). No
# genuine SanctiM match: the SanctiM files for this date,
# `SanctiM/07-17Moct.txt`/`07-17M.txt`, belong respectively to the
# Octave of St. Benedict (Jul 11-18) and to a different saint (St. Leo
# IV) — 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/07-17.txt, English/Sancti/07-17.txt.
# Single lesson (Lectio4 — Lectio5-6 fall back to Common of a
# Confessor, not proper text, so not authored here). No responsory
# given in the source.

Aléxius, Romanórum nobilíssimus, propter exímium Jesu Christi amórem prima nocte
nuptiárum peculiari Dei mónitu relínquens intactam sponsam, illustrium orbis terræ
ecclesiárum peregrinatiónem suscépit. Quibus in itinéribus cum ignotus septémdecim
annos fuísset, aliquándo apud Edessam, Syriæ urbem, per imáginem sanctíssimæ Maríæ
Vírginis, ejus nómine divulgato, inde navi discessit. Ad portum Romanum appulsus, a
patre suo tamquam alienus pauper hospítio accipitur; apud quem, ómnibus incógnitus,
cum decem et septem annos vixísset, relícto scripto sui nóminis, sánguinis, ac totius
vitæ cursus, migrávit in cælum, Innocentio primo summo Pontifice.

Alexis was a member of one of the noblest Roman families. Through his exceeding great
love for Jesus Christ, he received a particular command from God to leave his bride
untouched upon his wedding night, and to undertake a pilgrimage to the most famous
Churches of the world. For seventeen years he remained occupied in these journeys and
utterly unknown. At the end of that time, his name was spoken from an image of the most
holy Virgin Mary in the city of Edessa, in Syria, and when he found himself recognised he
took ship from thence. He landed at Porto near Rome, and fared to the house of his own
father, who gave him shelter as a strange beggar. He lived there unrecognised by any for
seventeen years more, and then passed away to heaven, in the time of Pope Innocent I. He
left behind him a writing giving his name, family, and the story of his life.
