De St. Armagilo Confessore in Britannia Armorica Galliae
Life of St. Armel (Armagilo) from Bollandists

[1] Non uno modo effertur sancti hujus Armagili nomen, utpote quod Gallo-Britones passim inflectunt S. Armel, [Ex Officiis potius] & Arzel, ut probant pagi ab ipso denominati, Plaermel & Ploarzel, quod est dicere Plebs Armagili, Plebs Armeli & Plebs Arzeli, unde inde facile sit conjicere, quanta olim in veneratione fuerit, cum pagi & oppida ab eo tamquam singulari patrono etiam hodie denominentur. Neque ibi stetit celebris cultus, per totam, saltem Armoricam seu minorem Britanniam late diffusus, ut manifeste ostendunt Officia non solum Rhedonensia, Venetensia & alia, sed etiam Macloviensia, ex cujus ecclesiæ antiquissimo Breviario ea describemus, servato totius Officii ordine, quæ de S. Armagilo tradita invenire potuimus, non secuturi Legendistam Albertum Le Grand, multa passim pro suo arbitrio amplificantem, ut toties in hoc Opere ostensum est.

[1] No one carried out this Lucinus was the name of it, since the French - twist the British broadcast of Armel [ From offices rather ] and Arzel to approve the street from the named Plaermel and Ploarzel, which is to say the population Lucinus was, the people and the population Arzeli Armeli, from which it is easy to interpret it from there, what great things he has been long ago in veneration, as the singular with the patron from him even at this day the towns of the district and shall be nominated. Nor is there, stood the famous of worship, throughout the whole of, at least in Britain to Armorica or less widely diffused, as is plainly show The offices of not only Rhedonensia, Vannes also other matters, but also of St. Malo, from the most ancient of which church shall describe it Breviary, after having observed the whole of the Office of order, which of the St. Lucinus was the we have been able to find have been handed down, it does not follow the Legendistam Albert Le Grande, many things are everywhere according to his discretion enlarging, as has been shown so many times in this work.

[2] In jam citato Officio ponitur XXIII Augusti: non recte opinor, [quam ex Marlliis notus] cum ad marginem manuscripti nostri expressissime notetur; In Calendario haberi ejus memoriam hac XVI Augusti, quo die obiit, & etiam nunc colitur tum in pago diœcesis Rhedonensis, ubi vita functus, ab eo dictus S. Armel, tum in urbe Ploërmel, quæ latine dicenda est Plebs Armagili, Plou Armel, vulgo Bloërmel in diœcesi Macloviensi. Atque hæc testimonia cultum abunde testantur, tametsi in nullis vetustis Martyrologiis ejus signetur memoria. Saussayus ipse Sanctorum encomiastes solito brevius de eo hoc die loquitur, ita ipsum annuntians: Macloviopoli, S. Armagili confessoris magnarum virtutum meritis præclari. Paulo aliter Castellanus: In Britannia prope Rhedones, S. Armagili confessoris, qui Parisiis totis septem annis commoratus fuerat, continuis pietatis exercitiis occupatus. Neque alia novi Martyrologia, quæ de ipso meminerint.

[2] In the already cited the Office is set down 23 of August: but not right in my opinion, [ except from the Marlliis known ] when it comes to the margin of the manuscript of our most expressly indication to the contrary, this 16 of August in the calendar to be regarded as his memory, on which day he died, and even now it is cultivated both in the village in the diocese Rhedonensis, where he died, he named St. Armel, also in the city Ploërmel, which is the population Lucinus was said in Latin, Pluto Armel, commonly Bloërmel in the diocese of St. Malo. Such evidence of abundant testimony to the service, even if they are not in his old martyrology bygone memory. You praise me more briefly than usual on this day Saints, he speaks of him Saussayus, so very and said: The Macloviopoli, St. Lucinus was the confessor of great virtues, the merits of clear ones. Paulo aliter Castellanus: In Brittany, near Rennes, St. Lucinus was the confessor, who had stayed in Paris throughout the years, successive spiritual exercises busy. Neither could any of the new martyrology, they should remember that the things concerning himself.

[3] Potuisset Cointius in sua Francorum Historia ecclesiastica Sancti Vitam & gesta paulo uberius enucleare, [laudatur a Cointio.] at fortasse veritus, ne minus solida essent, quæ de ipso circumferuntur, paucis omnia complexus est tomo 1 ad annum 520, num. XVI his verbis: Armelus sive Arzelus in Britannia circa annum CCCCLXXXII natus, per ecclesiasticos gradus erectus est ad honorem presbyteratus, deinde monasticæ vitæ studio incensus iter in Armoricam suscepit, & oratorium in agro Leonensi construxit, ubi hodie est parœcia S. Arzel, vulgo Plou Arsel. Ibi permansit usque ad obitum Rigualdi comitis, sed postea Comorri tyrannidem veritus, adiit Childebertum regem & Idualem comitem, a quibus honorifice susceptus est propter famam virtutum, quas Deus per eum operari dignabatur. Consule illius Vitam in Armorica sancta.

[3] Cointius have been possible had been done in his own a little more fully explicate the Franks, the Ecclesiastical History of the Holy & Life, [ praised by Cointio. ] But, perhaps, to fear lest, they were not less than solid, the things concerning himself about with, it is the complex of all the small volume of 1 to the year 520, as to whether. 16 as follows: Armelus or Arzelus born in Britain around the year 482, by ecclesiastical degrees was set up in honor of the priesthood, and then burning with zeal for the monastic way of life in Brittany, received, and in the field Leonensi the chapel, where he is today the Parish of St. Arzel, commonly known as Pluto Arsel., Continued there until the death of Rigualdi of the count, but afterwards Comorri tyranny to fear lest, he visited the Justinian, & Idualem the companion of the king, by whom he was received with honor, on account of the fame of the virtues, which God, through him, was deemed to work. Consult her life is in Amorica the holy places.

[4] Vitam illam aut eamdem aut similem existimo cum jam citata Alberti Gallica, [Vita ex Breviario Macloviensi.] cui fidere non ausim, ut proinde ad solum jam laudatum Macloviense Officium recurrendum sit, quod hic totum mox subjiciam cum antiphonis & responsoriis Vitæ seriem etiam prosequentibus. De Sancti reliquiis in toto hoc Officio non agitur, ut supponere omnino liceat, eas in loco, ubi primum depositæ fuere, etiamnum devotissime honorari, quamvis partes fortasse aliquæ alio translatæ fuerint. Certe in appendice nostra ad Vitam S. Pavacii tomi V Julii pag. 545 in sacco aliquo repertæ etiam dicuntur fuisse Reliquiæ sanctorum Armageli & Liborii, quod hic notasse sufficiat, ut ibi me facturum pollicitus sum. Miraculis plurimis celeberrimum fuisse Sanctum, non solum in Vita sed etiam post obitum, etsi id in Officio non clare exprimatur, testis est Albertus, ex quo etiam discimus, ecclesiam Plebis Armagili (Ploërmel) in diœcesi Macloviensi, ejus nomini consecratam, magno populi confluxu etiam hodie frequentari.

[4] for that life, or when they were now the places cited in the same or a similar approach, I think, Albert French, [ The life from the Breviary of St. Malo. ] To whom he would not dare to trust, to that effect, recourse must be had only to the Office of now and a panegyric of St. Malo, that this particular subject as soon as with the whole series of antiphons and responses of Life also follows. Of the remains of the Holy Office does not deal with in this whole, as we suppose, is permitted to, lead them into the place where he was for the first time has been deposed, I even now most devoutly to be honored, although the parts may perchance be some were transferred to another. Certainly, in the appendix to my life of S. Pavacii volume of 5 July, p. The remnant of the saints are said to have been 545 in the sack Armageli & Liborius in some there were found several, which is here sufficient to be noted, so that is where I promised to do what I am. With miraculous wonders, the Holy One of very many to have been the most famous, not only in life, but also after his death, though it be in an office can not be clearly expressed, is a testimony to Albert, from which also we learn that the church of the people, you Lucinus was the ( Ploërmel ) in the diocese of St. Malo, its consecrated in the name, to the great people of the confluence it is also this popular resort.

[5] Patria a nemine controvertitur: est enim S. Armagilus ex eorum numero, [Patria, ætas & dignitas.] quos ex majori Britannia in Armoricam certatim transiisse in Historia sua Britannica ostendit Lobinæus tomo 1, longa serie ad calcem libri secundi zelosos illos prædicatores enumerans, & notanter pag. 76 num. 210 ea confirmans quæ de Sancto jam diximus. Par est circa ætatem consensio, nimirum, natum esse anno 482, post multos vero labores religionis propagandæ causa susceptos, sanctissimæ Vitæ finem fecisse anno 552. Postremum quæri posset, utrum vere abbas dicendus sit, a quo titulo abstinuimus. Monasterium aliqui ab eo conditum volunt: certe discipulos seu socios populares, & forte alios habuisse non diffiteor, quæ si ad proprie dictam abbatiam sufficiant, facile etiam patiar abbatem nuncupari. En modo promissum Officium

[5] Our native land is disputed by no one : for it is the St. Lucinus was the result of their number, [The countrey, age and worth. ] Such of the British to the greater of Britons in Armorica with rival has crossed to his history shows Lobinæus Vol 1, those zealous of Book II, at the end of a long series preachers listing, and significant p. 76 no. 210, confirming those things which concern the Saints have already said. It is reasonable for about the age of consent, of course, that he was born in the year 482, after a long up for the sake the labors of the propagation of religion, holy way of life to have done the end of the year 552."Journey to Avalon" pg 145 improperly quoted 562, however since the battle with Conomor was 555, 562 is a good compromise since Lives of the British Saints has 570.

The last question could be asked, whether he is to be called the abbot, from which the title of the approach. The monastery was founded by him, some want to : it is certainly the disciples or allies of their countrymen, and by chance I do not doubt others have had, the which, if properly so called, to the abbey of content with that, I put up with the abbot also easily be called. See how to use the promise of the Office of the ancient church of St. Malo Breviary printed in Paris by John Higman. or 1489, since the side that is written on with of Saints of the summer.
