ST. SALVIUS, OR SAUVE, BISHOP OF AMIENS,

FAMOUS for miracles, succeeded Ado in 672, and flourished in the reign

of Theodoric III. His relics rest at Montreuil, in Picardy, in the

Benedictin {129} Abbey which bears his name, whither they were

translated from the cathedral of Amiens, several years after his death,

as is related in his anonymous life, a piece of uncertain authority with

regard to his actions. A relic of this saint was formerly kept with

great veneration in the cathedral of Canterbury, mentioned in the

history of that church, &c. This saint must not be confounded with St.

Salvius of Alby, nor with the martyr of this name in Africa, on whose

festival St. Austin made a sermon. See his anonymous life in Bollandus;

also Baillet. Gall. Christ. Nova, t. 10, p. 1154. This seems the day of

his translation, and the 28th of October that of his death.
