_The Menologium_ answers to the Latin Martyrology. There are several Menologia, as, at different times, great alterations have been made in them. But the ground-word of them all is the same, so that they are neither wholly alike nor wholly different. A translation of a Menologium into Latin by cardinal Sirlet, was published by Henry Canisius, in the third volume of his _Lectiones Antiquae_. The Greek original, with a new version, was published by Annibal Albani, at Urbino, in 1727. From these works it is most clear that the Greek church invokes the saints, and implores their intercession with God: "_Haud obscure ostendit_," says Walchius, "_Graecos eo cultu prosequi homines in sanctorum ordinem ascriptos, ut ilios incocent_." Bib. Theologica, vol. iii. 668. From the Menaeon, and the Menologium, Raderus published a collection of pious and entertaining narratives, under the title of _Viridarum Sanctorum_. It is to be wished that some gentleman would employ his leisure in a translation of it. We should then be furnished, from the works of the Agiographists of the eastern church, with a collection of pious and instructing narratives, similar to those in the well-known _Histoires Choisies_. One of the most curious articles inserted in the _Acta Sanctorum_ of the Bollandists, is the _Muscovite or Russian Calendar_, with the engravings of the saints. It was first published by father Possevin. He praises the Russians for the great attention to decency which they observe in their pictures and engravings of holy subjects. He mentions that the Russians, who accompanies him in his return to Rome, observed with surprise in the Italian paintings of saints, a want of the like attention. Father Papebroke, when he cites this passage, adopts the remark, and loudly calls on Innocent XII. to attend to the general decency of all public paintings and statues. _A Greek Calendar of the Saints_ in hexameter verse accompanies the Russian Calendar, in the _Acta Sanctorum_; both are illustrated with notes by father Pane broke.
