• Resumen

  • According to his interpretation, these stories are vestiges of late antique attempts to promote pilgrimage to various places in and around Rome. [...]Lapidge sees certain texts within this collection (especially the Passion of St Sebastian and the Passion of St Caecilia) as formative for many later texts in the volume (36) but again pays no heed to the influence of the five ancient apocryphal acts—Peter, Paul, John, Thomas, and Andrew. [...]in discussing the Martyrdom of St Symphorosa and Her Seven Sons, he points to the model of the Passion of St Felicitas (39).
