Irenaeus of Sirmium and His Story in the Medieval East and West: Remembering a Lesser Saint

This book is dedicated to a ’lesser’ saint, Irenaeus, who suffered martyrdom in 304 CE. His short-lived late antique cult in Sirmium, his feast day, and an anonymous text about his martyrdom, translated into five languages (Latin, Greek, Old Church Slavonic, Georgian, and Armenian) did not help perpetuate his memory.
