106 CORiaSH DEDICATIONS. 



The festival of SS. Dominica and Indract is on May 8. 

 Whytford, on this day says, "The feest of Saynt Indrake a 

 k5'nge of Yrelond y* forsoke all his royalty and went to rome 

 w* his syster saynt Dominyke w* dyuerse other y* al togyder 

 lyved a private lyf full of sctite [sanctite] and myracles and 

 at the last martyred for Chrystes fayth." 



The feast at S. Dominick is on the first Thursday after 

 May 12th. Add eleven days to May 8. and we have May 19, 

 near about when the Feast is held. As usual the people insist 

 on old style reckoning. 



May 8 is the day given in the Salisbury Martyrology, and 

 also in the Altemps Martyrology of the 13th cent., and a 

 Norwich Martyrology of the 15th. 



Challoner inaccurately gives Feb. 5. 



The date of the death of S. Dominica cannot be fixed with 

 any confidence, Colgan considered it must have taken place in 

 678, but, as shall be shown under the head of Indract, the most 

 probable date is 854. 



In art S. Dominica should be represented habited as an 

 Irish Nun, and with a crown at her feet. 



Her name and that of her brother are Irish. Hers is 

 composed in the same manner as was Domnach, a Church ; and 

 Domnall and Domnan, names for men. 



S. Electa, Virgin. 



The ancient name for Landulf was Landelech, i.e. Lan- 

 elech ; this we see in Domesday. It then became Landylp 

 (Eeg. B. Bronescombe, 1280). The present dedication is to 8. 

 Leonard. There is a Holy Well in the parish. 



In Endellion was a chapel dedicated to S. Electa,* Both 

 William of Worcester and Lei and give Elic or Elie as a child of 

 Brychan who settled in Cornwall. This is the Ellyw, or Elyw, 

 of the Welsh lists, who was a grand- daughter according to one 

 account.
