290 CORNISH DEDICATIONS. 



May 21st, tlie Ordination of S. Paternus is entered in the 

 Yannes Missal of 1530 and in the Breviary of 1586, but in that 

 of 1660, it is altered to " Trauslatio Sti. Paterni." 



Sept. 23 is given in the S. Malo Missal of 1609, and the 

 Breviary of 1537 and that of Dol 1519. Sept. 24 is the day 

 in a MS. Missal of S. Malo of the XY century. 



Albert Le Grrand and Lobineau give April i 6th. The 

 calendar of the 13th centmy Breviary of S. Yves, gi^'es the same 

 day. It is certainly curious that, whereas the " Life " says that 

 Padarn died on the xvii kal. May (April 15th) the 15reton 

 calendars should give as the day, April 1 6th. The three 

 festivals in commemoration of him observed in Brittany were, 

 his day of general commemoration, that of his ordination, and 

 that of his assembly with the other bishops on Menez Bre. 



The churches bearing the name of Padarn in Wales are : — 

 Llanbadarn Fawr, which was an episcopal seat till 720 when it 

 was destroyed by the Saxons,* after which the see was 

 incorporated in that of S. David's. 



Llanbadarn Fach on the right bank of the Arth, half-way 

 between Cardigan and Aberystwyth. Llanbadarn Odin on the 

 left bank of the river Aeron. These are all in Cardiganshire. 

 In Eadnorshire are Llanbadarn Fynyold, Llanbadarn Fawr, 

 and Llanbadarn y Carreg. 



Foundations of the saint in Devon and Cornwall are North 

 and South Petherwin. Werrington was another according to 

 the Bull of Celestine III to the Abbey of Tavistock, which 

 speaks of Werrington (Walrington) as a church of S. Paternus. 

 On the reconstruction of the church it was rededicated to 

 SS. Martin and Griles, as Paternus was not then in the Roman 

 Martyrology. In Brittany S. Paternus of Yannes has no special 

 symbol ; but Padarn might well be represented with one leg 

 clothed and the other bare. 



The principal authority for the life of S. Padarn has already 

 been given. A rita of the XII or early XIII century published by 

 Eees in his "Lives of the Cambro-British Saints," Llandovery, 

 1853, pp. 188-197. John of Tynemouth who wrote in the 14th 

 century {cire. 1360) inserted an abridgement of this life in his 



* Brut y Tywysogion suh. ann. 720.
