A short hagiographic text, set at the time of Lothair I and Ludwig II (whose coregence, the first as emperor and the second as king of Italy, is documented between 844 and 855) wrote the events that follow the meeting between the abbot of Berceto, Tiberio, and Domenico, bishop of Foligno, at the Concilium Papiensis in September 850. From this meeting, Tiberius will obtain from the bishop some relics of Abbondio, martyr in Foligno (BHL 1620-1622 + 6955) during the emperor of Diocletian and Maximian. This article offers a renewed critical edition of the Translatio and seeks to investigate its historical and compositional context, finally proposing a new dating hypothesis.

Abstract
A short hagiographic text, set at the time of Lothair I and Ludwig II (whose coregence, the first as emperor and the second as king of Italy, is documented between 844 and 855) wrote the events that follow the meeting between the abbot of Berceto, Tiberio, and Domenico, bishop of Foligno, at the Concilium Papiensis in September 850. From this meeting, Tiberius will obtain from the bishop some relics of Abbondio, martyr in Foligno (BHL 1620-1622 + 6955) during the emperor of Diocletian and Maximian. This article offers a renewed critical edition of the Translatio and seeks to investigate its historical and compositional context, finally proposing a new dating hypothesis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
