But May 8 is the day in the Altemps, 13th Century 

 Martyrology, and in the 15th Cent. Norwich Martyrology

In Art, Indract should he figured as a pilgrim with a salmon 

 in his hand, and a staff that is putting forth oak leaves. 



S. Ingelli. 

 At a place in Lanivet, now vulgarly corrupted into Stephen 

 Grelli, it is said that there stood a chapel to S. Ingelli, possibly a 

 corruption for Sancti Angeli. 



S. Itha, Virgin, Abbess. 



This very remarkable woman was the Bridget of Munster,

 Egloskerry, and accordingly made SS. Ida and Lidy patronesses 

 of the latter church, and further blundered in making S. Filius 

 patron of S. Issey, in place of Philleigh, which was anciently 

 Eglosros. He has been followed by Mr. Copeland Borlase, who
