Palermo (Sicily) Martyrology 12th century |
Book of martyrs "Ecclesiae Beati Palatii Urbis Panormi…". Quite apart from its liturgical value, this manuscript is conceived as a veritable mediaeval history book. It contains precise indications relating to the Norman and Swabian periods, together with the dates of the deaths of numerous sovereigns, princes and churchmen.
